North Yorkshire residents Keith Tordoff and his wife Gloria met as teenagers.

Trying to impress Gloria on a first date, Kit took her to a candy store..

And this visit became fateful. For 20 years now, a couple has been managing this establishment together..

And it is unique, because it is considered the oldest candy store in the world. Located in the small town of Pateli Bridge.

The store opened its doors in 1827. Much has been preserved here since then.. And it all works. For example, old Victorian scales and cash registers.

Customers love this place not only for its historical value, but also for the variety of sweets..

However, the store will soon be transferred to other owners. The couple put it up for sale for more than 520 thousand US dollars.

Buyers hope that the traditions of this place will be preserved..

Usually the longest lines here line up in the summer. It happens that people stand even on the street.
