🌟 Member Spotlight: River Street Sweets 🌟

Few places capture the magic and nostalgia of Savannah quite like River Street Sweets! Since 1973, this family-owned business has been delighting locals and visitors alike with World Famous Pralines, hand-crafted candies, fresh fudge, caramel apples, saltwater taffy, and the tradition of offering free samples to everyone who walks through the door. 🍫🍬

Beyond making Savannah a little sweeter, River Street Sweets is committed to giving back. In 2025, they donated more than $20,000 to Second Harvest's Kids Cafe program, helping support children in our community. 💙

With locations on River Street, Broughton Street, and in Habersham Village, River Street Sweets continues to share the flavors and traditions that have made them a Savannah favorite for over 50 years.
