Gabby Zhaukesh, founder and CEO of Sugar Bear Candy, arrived in the United States with a dream: to bring happiness to people’s lives through the magic of candy. Starting with a single candy kiosk in 2017, she worked tirelessly, pouring her heart into creating a whimsical world where every treat tells a story.
Drawing on her learned knowledge of the candy industry, Gabby transformed her vision into a business with locations in New Jersey and New York. Today, Sugar Bear Candy Store is a haven for candy lovers of all ages, offering everything from classic chocolates and sugar-free delights to freeze-dried candy, spicy chili chamoy treats, and old time candy.
At its heart, Sugar Bear Candy is about more than just sweets—it’s about sparking joy and creating moments of happiness. Gabby’s journey inspires every visit to be a delightful escape and a chance to savor life’s sweetness!
