Phil and David
Phil and David (l to r) in The Treat Stop

When I heard that a guy I knew while growing up in Cwmbran had set up his first business I thought his story would be good to share on this blog.

David Williams used his redundancy cash to set up a sweet shop in Pontypool. The shop is run by his son, Phil. It is a traditional looking sweet shop with jars on top of jars covering every wall. The chances are if you fondly remember eating a particular sweet as a child this shop has them in stock.

I went to the same school as David and it was nice to hear he is doing well. Check out some of the photos below of the shop. His shop is on the top of Crane Street in Pontypool directly opposite the Argos store.
