The Lollie Hut is set to open for business at the weekend, and the store is chockas with tasty treats from all over the world.

Owner Brett Hutchins said the specialty lolly shop will be the only one of its kind in the area, serving up sweets, milkshakes and even bulk orders.

"It's a traditional lolly shop; we have all the old-fashioned stuff," he said.

"We've got rock candy, the bon bons are a massive seller, and these giant lollipops, you can't get them anywhere else, and they're Australian made."

Michelle and Brett Hutchins have struggled to get some supplies in due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but there are plenty of options for locals with a sweet tooth.

The couple used to own a lolly shop on Brisbane Street about six years ago, and said they'd been fielding calls "left, right and centre" asking them to open a new one in town.

"It puts a smile on your face every day in the lolly shop and you meet so many different people," Mr Hutchins said.

Details on The Lollie Hut opening can be found on the shop's Facebook page.

The store sits near the corner of Peel and Bourke streets.
