The COVID-19 restrictions and lockdown forced Ulladulla's Lolly Kingdom to close for a few weeks but now they are back in business - much to the delight of many people.

"People have been lining up out the door waiting to get in," Lolly Kingdom manager Mel Whipp said.

She said once word got out that the shop had reopened people of all ages started heading back to the shop.

Now you see children in school uniforms coming into the shop as well as older people looking to give themselves a treat by buying some of their all-time favourite lollies.

The Lolly Kingdom, like many other businesses, wants to thank the local community for its support.

Online sales, along with click and collect from the locals, kept the business clicking over while in lockdown.

Lolly Kingdom is following all the COVID-19 requirements and means only four people are allowed on the premises at any one time. People have to wear masks and sign in.

Mel is looking forward to a busy and successful trade over Christmas, particularly when more regional travel clearances are made.

Mel's brother Adam opened the shop but he has since moved to Queensland but is still very much part of Lolly Kingdom's kingdom.

In another sign they are looking forward to better times ahead, Adam and Mel soon aim to open an ice creamery next to the lolly shop.

Meanwhile, Mel has organised a fundraising event to support a local mother who is facing a battle with breast cancer.

A family fun Halloween event will be held on Sunday, October 31 and go here for details.
