On She Built It®, Florence Baras, Co-Founder of Sockerbit, shares how she and her husband transformed a beloved Swedish tradition, lördagsgodis (Saturday candy), into a thriving U.S. retail and e-commerce brand.

From navigating FDA regulations and import logistics to launching vibrant storefronts in New York and Los Angeles, Florence reveals what it really takes to build a profitable retail company from scratch. She opens up about sourcing only from Europe’s top candy factories, protecting margins despite rising import costs, surviving COVID with young children at home, and scaling nationwide through partnerships with Target and specialty retailers.

If you’re building a retail brand, growing an e-commerce business, or scaling through major retail partnerships, this episode is a masterclass in community-driven growth, operational discipline, and long-term brand building.
