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.

JANESVILLE
When was the last time that a granddad and his grandkid could head to downtown Janesville and get a candy bar, jellybeans and a handmade ice cream float at a genuine soda fountainâall inside one storefront?
Itâs been years, certainly.
In April, Courtney Perakis is bringing back a slice of old-timey sweetness with The Sugar Exchange, a new candy shop and classic ice cream and soda parlor at 119 N. Main St.
Perakis, a former financial adviser with a love of lemon-flavored Jolly Rancher candies and vivid memories of visiting candy stores with her grandfather, is revamping a shop space at the Bodacious Shops of Block 42 that will become a throwback candy shop.
