Start Selling Sweets From Just £72 + VAT — The Simplest Side Income In Retail?
Posted on: 16/05/2026
There are business ideas requiring strategy meetings, complicated software and motivational podcasts hosted by men called Trent.
And then there is selling sweets.
Which, commercially speaking, has one enormous advantage:
Human beings have shown a stubborn commitment to buying them for well over a century.
The beauty of Monmore’s Pre-Pack Sweets range is not complexity.
It is simplicity.
You do not need jars.
You do not need weighing scales.
You do not need a dedicated sweet shop with striped wallpaper and nostalgic jazz playing softly in the background.
You only need a small display area and customers willing to say “go on then”.
That is about it.
120 Bags Of Sweets From Just £72 + VAT
Our bundle deals make entering confectionery retail remarkably accessible:
- 5 Cases = 120 Bags = £72 + VAT
- 10 Cases = 240 Bags = £144 + VAT
That instantly changes the psychology.
This is not huge-risk retail.
This is compact, fast-moving impulse stock designed to quietly generate revenue from very small spaces.
Hang the bags.
Let customers do the rest.
And because these are recognisable sweets people already understand, there is no education process required.
No explaining obscure flavours harvested from Peruvian volcanoes.
Just proven favourites customers have been buying for years.
