Health warning as candy superstores gobble up the high street
Giant outlets selling imported American treats loaded with sugar are replacing clothes shops.
American-style “candy” superstores opening across the UK are selling “single servings” of sweets that contain two and a half times the maximum amount of sugar a child should consume daily.
The giant sweet shops selling imported fizzy drinks, cereals, chocolate bars and sweets are increasingly occupying premium retail space, filling gaps left by fashion chains and electrical retailers.
