Unique Halloween Candy, Crazy Costumes, Homemade Pumpkin Ice Cream, Hot Cocoa and Great Friends at Lola’s Sugar Rush!

October is here and that means only one thing to a sweet-tooth like me: Halloween candy, fun costumes and Trick-or-Treat Street in historic downtown Littleton. Each year our Halloween candy selection at Lola’s Sugar Rush and Littleton’s annual Trick-or-Treat Street get bigger and more creative!

I’ve personally picked all of this year’s sweet and crazy treats. (I even had the best job in the shop; sampling everything!) Here are a few of my favorites:

Candy Blood Bags
Tarantula and Fang Gummis
Candy Corn Lollipops
Monster Goo
Dark Chocolate Pumpkin Peeps
Sweet Tart Skulls & Bones
Spider Web Cotton Candy
Sour Bats
Pumpkin Patch Orange Pop Rocks
Ghost Dots
Don’t forget you can also buy our candy online!

Seasonal Flavor Alert!
If you love homemade ice cream like the Sugar Babes and I do, you absolutely have to try our new homemade pumpkin ice cream from Magill’s World of Ice Cream. It’s made by a local company whose family has been making delicious ice cream for 30 years. Our customers are raving about the new flavors, especially the pumpkin! Try the pumpkin while it lasts – they only make it for the fall season!

Trick-or-Treat Street
Saturday, October 29th from noon to 5pm come join Lola’s Sugar Rush and all the historic downtown Littleton merchants. The Sugar Babes and I will be decked-out in our Halloween costumes, and handing out Hammond’s 7’ Unicorn Tangerine Lollipops which are almost too cool to eat. The shop will be open our regular hours from 10-5:30 pm. We’ll also be open on Halloween for those of you who need last minute treats.

Closed November 1st!
The shop will be closed on November 1st so the Sugar Babes and I can begin to transform Lola’s Sugar Rush into a fabulous holiday winter wonderland. I know. I know. I can’t believe it’s nearly that time again either! Sorry for the inconvenience. I promise you’ll love our holiday treats and sweet displays.
Hope to see you all soon!

Sweetly yours,
Lola

Lola’s Sugar Rush Walks for the Cure!

I want to give a big shout out to all the sweet friends that joined Lola’s Sugar Rush Team on October 2nd to walk, run, and sleep for a cure to breast cancer! This is the third year we’ve joined Denver’s Race for a Cure and our team has grown bigger and sweeter each time.

This year we had 17 walkers, 5 runners and 10 sleepers on our team. We even had a lil' babe named Paul in his stroller whose mom Selena walked with us while pregnant last year!

Lola’s Sugar Rush Team really stuck out in a sea of pink with our chocolate brown tee-shirts which read, Lola’s Sugar Rush is walking for a cure on the front and We’re so sweet we melt the concrete! on the back. Of course the lettering was done in strawberry and vanilla because those flavors rock on a walk with chocolate!

It is always so sweet to know that customers want to be part of our team. Thanks again sweet friends! It’s great to know that we will have had a small hand in beating this terrible disease!

P.S. It’s not too late to donate!

Sweetly yours,
Lola

Celebrate Spring and our Birthday!

Ah, spring! One of my favorite times of the year! More sunny hours of the day to enjoy bright, colorful, blooming flowers popping-up and lots of new pastel colored candies and yummy chocolate bunnies to indulge in. Oh, and did I mention our two-year birthday is coming up!


The girls and I are having so much fun getting into the spirit of spring. The shoppe is completely decked-out with flowers, edible bunnies, yummy Easter eggs and jelly beans of every assortment imaginable!


These past two years have been a hoot! To celebrate and to say thank you, we’ll be doing fun giveaways and offering sweet deals throughout the month of April. On Wednesdays, come on in and get our fabulous cupcakes for only $1.00 while supplies last. You won’t want to miss Fridays at the shoppe either – especially if you enjoy the thrill of winning drawings… we’ll be giving away lots of yummy things! And since April 9th is our actual birthday, the first 200 customers will receive a free cupcake on our special day.

When we opened the shoppe in April of 2009, our inventory of candies and chocolates was very large… more than 600 different varieties. Two years later, our inventory of yummy confections and chocolates is huge… more than 800 varieties to please every sweet tooth! Speaking of discerning palettes, the wait for dark chocolate melt-aways is over! Come on in and let us hook you up with a big bag of these popular, decadent treats!

We’ve received lots of great press in the past few months that has brought many new faces in the door – many of whom have become sweet regulars. We can’t thank you all enough for making each and every day a delight to “play” here.

Come on in and celebrate our birthday with us! We want to personally say thank you for all of your loyalty, friendship and support!

Sweetly yours,
Lola

What’s Not to Love! 2011 Valentine’s Day Guide of Sweet Treats for you and your Honey.

Romance isn’t dead. But it will be if you ignore your sweetie on the most romantic day of the year! Valentine’s Day – a day filled with candies, chocolates, cupcakes, hearts and kisses is just a few short weeks away so we’ve put together a few fun ways to spend this special day:

• Don’t want to go out? How about watching some classic love stories together at home, like Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Sleepless in Seattle, or my favorite, Casablanca. We have the perfect theatre candy (remember Flicks!) and the yummiest desserts in town to help make the evening complete.



• Can't get off of work on the 14th? If you can't take the day off, stop by the shoppe afterwards and pick-up some of our decadent hand-dipped chocolates to bring home for the evening.



• Looking for a sweeter alternative to roses? We have chocolate roses that are sure to melt your honey’s heart!



• Not sure how to express your feelings? Our Conversation Hearts are a time-honored tradition that is sure to help the love-struck, tongue-tied get their message across. Kiss Me! Yes! Be Mine!



• Feeling too old to celebrate Valentine’s Day? Bring your loved one into Lola’s Sugar Rush for a fun trip down memory lane. We have all the candies you loved as a child, plus everyone’s a kid in our candy shoppe!

What’s that? You don’t have a honey to spend this special day with? No problem! We can put “The Perfect Man” or the “Boyfriend” right in the palms of your hands.

The Perfect Man we’re talking about is sweet and decadently rich… just how a man ought to be.

The Boyfriend is tall, buff and Belgian… totally yummy.

If either of these guys were any hotter, they’d melt!

And if they change their minds and split… you can chew them up in little bits!

These beautiful “hunks” of solid milk chocolate can’t help but bring a smile to your face!

Happy Valentine's Day from all of us, to all of you. Hope to see you soon sweet friends!

Sweetly yours,
Lola

Happy New Year!

Hello Friends,

Happy New Year from all the Sugar Babes here at Lola's Sugar Rush! Thank you for making this holiday season the sweetest ever! We had so much fun!

Sweet Highlights of the last few months in 2010

Parents and kids start new holiday tradition at Lola’s Sugar Rush: In November, we launched our gingerbread house workshops on Sunday afternoons. It was so awesome to see children and adults enjoying their time together as they started a new family tradition. I even got my family in on the fun! In fact, we had so much fun together, we put the finished products (three houses) front and center on our holiday table! I knew it would be a fabulous idea to do the workshops but didn't expect the overwhelming response from our customers. Next year we will be adding even more sessions to accommodate all of our great customers.

Channel 7 A-List winners again! For the second straight year, Lola’s Sugar Rush was voted Best Gift Shop in Colorado. As I have always said, candy is one of the sweetest gifts you can give! Of course we also have non-food confectionary items such as our signature lotions, candles, bath products and apparel that are not only whimsical and fun, they’re calorie free! We look forward to another year of meeting new friends and exceeding your customer service expectations to give you the best ideas for your gift giving needs.

Corporate candy gift baskets flew off the shelves! The Sugar Babes and I felt like Willie Wonka’s Oompa Loompas feverishly creating pre-made and made to order candy baskets and boxes filled to the brim with fun nostalgic candies, gourmet chocolates, gummies and sours. If you are looking to do something fun and unique for your clients, be sure to keep us in mind.

Upcoming

February is the sweetest month of the year at Lola’s Sugar Rush! Ok, ok, every month is sweet at Lola’s Sugar Rush, but now that the season of love is upon us, we are fully stocked with all of your traditional Valentine favorites. We have even added a few new items that our sure to add some sweet-spice to your life!

Until Next Month, Stay Sweet!
Lola
