Our friend Susan is celebrating 14 years in business today!

Did you know Mariposa Design Inc. use to be in our current location?

Congratulations Susan on 14 years! Thank you for being you and for being a big supporter of Rideau Candy Shoppe since our first day relocating to Perth. We can’t wait for your 15th year!

Shop at Mariposa this weekend, bring your receipt and get 14% off our ice cream and sorbet menu from today until Sunday at close.

Thank you for supporting and shopping local folks and be sure to check out all the great shops here in Perth.

In 2012 I acted on a bit of a whim, registered my business name and then opened my shoppe on Foster Street. Today, I'm celebrating 14 years in business!!! 😀
Alot can happen in 14 years... and it has... ups & downs, laughter & tears, wonderful days & challenging ones too!! The one thing that remains constant though... are all of YOU!!! 🥰
The customers who have become friends, the regular locals who provide smiles & encouragement on a daily & weekly basis, and the amazing customers from Perth & Area, throughout Eastern Ontario, and from across our province, country and globe... who return monthly, a couple of times a year or annually... I am deeply grateful for your support of my small business!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!! 💛🦋💛

You folks really showed up this weekend to support our new empty ice cream bucket campaign for the YAK Youth Services. We just started and you guys made sure all our stocked buckets sold!

Current total is $86!

Thank you to our customers who willingly let us take their picture!

Special thanks to Bradley Hamill who came in on the weekend and bought the rest of our sitting stock and left an extra donation.

Give it a few days and we will have more buckets for sale.
