It’s more than just sweets. It’s Homegrown.


Gordons Sweets isn’t just a business – it’s a family affair, and one that’s been passed down through generations.  
 Today owned by the Gordon Family, with Adam Gordon as the director,  Gordons Sweets was originally started by his grandfather, who sold products to convenience stores and had a small sweets factory on the side. Realising that there was a gap in the market for sweets, Adams father, David, focused his energy here and slowly started growing the company. 

Today the third generation of Gordons Sweets is building an even more delicious legacy for the company, producing a range of old-school-style sweets for the Homegrown range.   

Known as ‘Quenchers’ and available in 3 flavours, these mouthwatering sweets are produced using refurbished classic 1950s sweet-making machinery. Our very own Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, right here in South Africa, and homegrown.
