About River Street Sweets®
A Tradition of Southern Sweets for Over 46 Years
Get Started!
Our Humble Beginnings . . .
Imagine a world where the sweet aroma of freshly made fudge wafts through cobblestone streets and along riverbanks. This is where the Strickland family began their sweet journey in 1973.
What started with an eager 11-year-old Tim Strickland at a trade show has blossomed into a Southern legacy known as River Street Sweets®. That magical moment, spurred by the discovery of a fudge pot, ignited a passion for confectionery that continues to burn brightly more than four decades later.
