Saturday Candy Co. opening third Long Island shop in Westhampton Beach

Saturday Candy Co. is bringing its colorful mix of Swedish sweets and international treats to the East End.

The popular candy shop is preparing to open its third Long Island location later this month at 1 Moniebogue Lane in Westhampton Beach, marking its first expansion into the Hamptons.

The new store follows successful openings in Stony Brook and Sayville for owner Julia Brandt, who said the move was driven by both business and personal ties to the area.

“My husband’s family business has been doing work in the area for around 40 years and when I first came to the US from Sweden, I settled in the Hamptons for a couple of years, so it just felt right to open a location here,” Brandt told Greater Long Island.

Brandt said Westhampton Beach stood out because of its location and accessibility.

“We chose Westhampton out of all towns in the Hamptons as it’s not too far out on the East End, so it’s easy to get to,” she said.

Customers can expect much of what has made Saturday Candy Co. a destination in its other locations, including a large pick-and-mix candy wall, Swedish imports and a wide variety of international sweets.

“It’ll be very similar to our other stores, tons of different flavors along with a pick and mix wall, and other fun things to choose from,” Brandt said.

Brandt said the shop also plans to host special promotions and events throughout the year.

“It’ll be something brand new to Westhampton Beach with lots of fun things going on every week,” she said.

An official grand opening date has not yet been announced, but Brandt said the new Westhampton Beach location is expected to open in late June, just in time for the busy summer season.
