Sweet Cheeks Moves, Ricky P's Opens

Sweet Cheeks and Ricky P's celebrate new beginnings on Central Avenue.

Sweet Cheeks Candy and Beauty Bar has a new home.

The shop closed and found a new place on the 600 block, a home to artists and crafters as well as one-of-a-kind boutiques. The shop offers a candy selection and beauty products.

After being in the 1045 Central spot, Sweet Cheeks has a smaller space at 645 Central Ave., in the Crislip Arcade. The store will eliminate photography and makeup application. But Sweet Cheeks will still have its delicious candy buffets for special events as well as hair/makeup and photography.
