Sweet Pete’s

01 Sweet Pete's Lake Forest The Profit Marcus Lemonis TORsAdventures

I have to admit that I am a HUGE fan of the show The Profit.  I am something of an entrepreneur fanatic!  When I was a kid I had to be dragged in from selling candy for whatever thing it was my school needed me to sell for them. I created Victorious Creations in grade-school. Now it is Tor’s Adventures Media. SO……I love this guy!  I want him to be my mentor someday! I loved the show with Sweet Pete’s and was hoping to visit the store next time I was in Jacksonville since I have been living in Florida for the last three and a half years. I am now  in Illinois and I saw on the update show that they opened a store in Lake Forest, IL …… a little north of Chicago. We were heading to the city this morning so I added the sweet stop onto our trip.

The store was everything I expected!  From the smell of candy being made as we walked into the bright and cheerful store, to the taste of the salted caramel they were sampling as we walked into the door it was fabulous! I got to see the gummy bear lamp that I saw on TV.  AWESOME!  We bought some cupcakes, strawberry straws and some salt water caramels. The store manager was absolutely delightful and I would love to come back to take some of their classes.
