Hey guys, we have something important to let you know about, and we’d also love you to spread the word. There’s a new candy shop in town, and it’s something pretty special. sweetzolascandy is a little local candy shop that has just opened in downtown Meridian. And it’s focus is on providing employment opportunities for those with disabilities. It’s all about “Candy for Inclusion”. Store owner Cyndy Radovich is dedicated to providing job and skills training for people with special needs in our community. She’s hired 10 special needs employees for her shop. Adults with autism, down syndrome and other conditions often lose their jobs. Sweet Zola's is trying to change that. “I just want to be able to provide a new environment for them, I want them to feel welcomed and accepted the way they are”, says Radovich. Well. That’s amazing. Sounds like a place we all need to frequent on a regular basis. 🍬 Oh, and they have really great candy too. 😀 We’d like to invite everyone to come down one day during their Spring Break, get some candy, meet some great people in the community, and help support the kind of business that Meridian should be all about.

Sweet Zola’s Candy Shop is located at 917 N. Main Street in Meridian inside pottersteahouse! And if you haven’t been to Potters Tea House, that’s definitely a place to visit too! #hellomeridian #mymeridian #dotheright
