This Pride Month, we're celebrating Small Victories. 🌸🏳️‍🌈 Pronoun pins, plantable seed cards with beautiful artwork, and so many other offerings that reflect individuality, creativity, and a genuine sense of community. They've been a special part of this building for two years.

Their in-person shop is closing at the end of June, so stop by their closing sale on Level 1 through June 21 and find something you'll love. And when they're gone from the building, keep supporting them at smallvictories.com. 🤍

Have you heard? We’re welcoming Lilla Swedish Candy to Level L1 this summer! 🍬

A fast-growing online candy business plans to open its first brick-and-mortar store next month, bringing Swedish sweets and a taste of Scandinavian culture to downtown Northampton.

06/09/2026

We have some exciting news. 🍬 Lilla Swedish Candy is joining the Thornes family this summer, and we're so pleased to welcome them to Level L1.

Co-founders Nic Jansson and Holly Berrigan are bringing the beloved Scandinavian tradition of lördagsgodis — Saturday candy — to downtown Northampton. Nic was born in Stockholm and grew up with the weekly ritual of picking out candy, a tradition that inspired him to bring it stateside with cleaner ingredients and no Red 40 or Yellow 5.

Lilla comes to us as a Massachusetts-based, family-owned business with an active online shop. Expect a wide variety of imported Swedish sweets, pick-and-mix favorites, and a carefully curated selection of Swedish gifts and home goods. Opening late July — watch this space. 🇸🇪
