Inside Australia’s biggest lolly shop with 30,000 sweets from around the world: ‘This is my dream come to life’
A much-loved Australian brand has just launched the country’s largest ever lolly shop in a major city, with more than 30,000 types of sweets on offer.
Tom’s Confectionery Warehouse first opened in Brisbane more than 40 years ago, and the chain’s newest addition is located in Melbourne’s Highpoint Shopping Centre.
The gigantic candy palace of 1,200 square meters will open its doors to customers on November 11.
Sweets from dozens of countries have made their way to the city’s northeastern location, with chocolates and candies from North America, Britain, South Africa, New Zealand, Turkey and more gracing the aisles.
The store also contains the world’s largest range of Pick ‘n’ Mix lollipops, with over 1,000 sweets in the section – with options for everyone at the tip of their tongue.

One of the shop’s main attractions is a giant human claw for children and adults – where people can immerse themselves in a pool of chocolates and sweet treats to collect as many goodies as they can get their hands on.
The perfect day out for children everywhere, the lollipop shop also has a variety of exciting features.
Customers will find a bumblebee waiting to greet them at the entrance, a life-size dinosaur in the store that moves and roars, and a story tree that tells popular children’s stories.
Shoppers can also pose on the venue’s impressive candy throne or enjoy a larger-than-life chair designed after the hit TV show The Simpsons.
“We want to create an experience that is unique here in Australia or the world,” says owner Adiel Ben Karmona.
‘Tom’s is more than just a lolly shop, we want to be a place that inspires everyone who comes through our doors to bring some fun into their lives. Tom’s motto will always be: come for the experience we offer; the candy is a bonus.”
