The Sugar Factory opened it's first boutique in The Mirage Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas on June 26th 2009. It mostly sells candies by the ¼ pound, chocolate bars, and women's t-shirts and tank tops with their logo on them. So far, this is the only Sugar Factory location in the United States, but there are plans to open a 12,000 square foot Sugar Factory entertainment center in Hollywood California in Fall 2009.

If you're the fashionista who insists on couture yet playful accessories, The Sugar Factory Couture Lollipop is for you. To be fair, this is a steep price for a lollipop, but not for a fashion accessory. A number of celebrities have been spotted slurping on a Sugar Factory Couture Lollipop including Lindsay Lohan, Rhianna, Katy Perry, Sting, Wil i Am from Black Eyed Peas, and Scrubs star Zack Braff. If your fashion style runs along the lines of Juicy Couture, The Sugar Factory Couture Lollipop is for you.

Some female celebrities have designed their own Signature Couture Lollipops. The Pussycat Dolls Tour Signature Pop has a black handle with pink rhinestones on the top and bottom and a small heart shaped charm on the bottom of the stick. The Kim Kardashian Signature Pop comes in either a silver or gold encrusted rhinestone handle. By far, the most popular Signature Pop is for the current Britney Spears Circus Tour. The Circus pops come in a variety of colors and flavors and are being sold on her tour. These Signature Pops sell for $25 and according to the staff at the Sugar Factory, the Britney Spears Circus Tour Pop is selling for $50 at her concerts! The Spears Signature Pop is a limited edition and will not be made after the Circus Tour ends.

If a $20+ couture lollipop is something your wardrobe needs, pick up a Sugar Factory Couture Lollipop. Available at their store in Las Vegas and on line at www.sugarfactory.com. For the record, I chose the Britney Spears Circus Pop in Baby Pink for myself.
