Josh and Caron Stover, new owners of Highlands’ SweeTreats, are changing the world one delicious bite at a time.
Josh is using his 3D printing business in Atlanta to rocket SweeTreats into the 21st Century. He creates prototypes of machinery that he then tests in his business. He’s pushing the envelope of the worldwide food industry right here in Highlands.
His wife Caron is VP of Apparel Tradeshows at AmericasMart and is utilizing her vast marketing and business knowledge skills to promote SweeTreats.
In 2014 Josh and his family visited Highlands and instantly fell in love. In a matter of days they bought a weekend home. A couple of years later, they purchased one of their favorite hang-outs, SweeTreats.
Since opening July 4th, 2017, they’ve made strategic improvements to the shop.
Josh says, “In addition to a full renovation, we moved ice cream to the front of the building, so it’s more prominent on Main. We gave the deli its own full kitchen so both the creamery and cooking area thrive independently.”
The menus for deli and ice cream are pretty much the same as the original SweeTreats. Josh wanted to support the loyal fans of both. He’s proud of his staff which transitioned smoothly from old to new ownership.
“One of the reasons there was an easy transition was veteran employee and staff manager Jacob Smith,” he says. “He’s done a phenomenal job. We couldn’t live in Atlanta and run this place without our great staff.”
Look for more surprises at SweeTreats in the coming weeks with online ordering and extended hours.
“We’ll never stop improving and making SweeTreats more special for the area.” Josh says. The long term goal is to continue SweeTreats franchises, building on several already established.
SweeTreats’ hours are 11:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M. Friday and Saturday; and 11:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. Sunday through Thursday. Always check the website to confirm hours of operation. For more information, call (828) 526-9632, Instagram #sweetreatshighlands; face
