Peter's Sweet Shop

See Gone, But Not Forgotten

Peter's Sweet Shop was a candy store located on South Clinton Avenue in the South Wedge run by Peter Livadas (born Panagiotis Panagiotatos). It offered a selection of over 1,000 different novelty items, most of which are hand-crafted in unique antique molds. Livadas had over 45 years of experience in candy-making before passing away in 2010.

The family would like to thank the City of Rochester for many candy seasons filled with smiles and love. You never know what the future holds. —Livadas
