Hope and Greenwood is a traditional confectionery business based in London, England.²

The story

Hope and Greenwood was founded in 2004 by husband and wife team Kitty Hope and Mark Greenwood.

Owning a sweetshop was said to have been a "childhood dream" of Miss Hope. The Hope and Greenwood brand sells retro sweets, such as lemon sherbets, cola bottles, gobstoppers and flying saucers, with branding inspired by the founders' love of 1950's-style designs, such as The Boy's Own Paper and Laura Ashley floral prints.

Retail and Wholesale

They have created their own range of sweets, which are then sold directly to the customer in two retail outlets.

Hope and Greenwood's flagship store was opened in Lordship Lane, East Dulwich, London in 2004. The company opened a second UK shop in Covent Garden in 2006, which later won best original store in the 2006 Living London awards. The outlets have won a number of awards and are regularly used for location shoots and filming.

In 2007, the business expanded globally, opening a store in Japan in partnership with PlazaStyle.
