The Sugar Shack gives visitors a taste of yesteryear. Close Close
Old-time music greets customers as they walk into the
Sugar Exchange–a nostalgic candy shop in downtown Janesville. But certain aspects of the Sugar Exchange are a bit more modern, in what owner Courtney Perakis calls, “a twist for old-school.”
The walls are covered with embossed teal wallpaper. The shop, situated on 119 N. Main St. next to a coffee shop is stocked with vintage treats and candy.
For Perakis, the downtown location of the shop is just as important as the design aesthetic. She says foot traffic is a crucial part of her business model.
