First Street Treats Opens in Historic Downtown Paris: Candy, Chocolate, and Soda Shop
A new sweet stop in the historic core gives downtown visitors another reason to linger and come back.
First Street Treats,a nostalgic candy, chocolate,and soda shop, opened in July in historic downtown Paris,Texas,as an extension of the neighboring Sundae in Paris soda fountain,and bistro. Sundae is known for homemade ice cream,waffle cones,and more than 50 flavors of cane and vintage sodas.
The shop is one of the newest downtown additions highlighted by Visit Paris,Texas,joining coffee shops,dining spots,and boutiques in the revitalizing core. Each new concept extends dwell time on the courthouse square,and pulls families,weekend visitors,and school groups onto the sidewalks.
Why a candy shop matters for commercial demand
Niche food and retail concepts extend dwell time,pull foot traffic,and keep neighboring storefronts leased.A downtown with a rotating roster of independent shops is a downtown where retail vacancy stays low,and lease rates hold up.
The opening also aligns with downtown momentum,historic renovations,a hospitality district on First Street,Main Street accreditation,and a stream of local business openings. Each addition compounds the case for the historic core as a commercial submarket.
The connection to 1905 E Price St
The property at 1905 E Price St sits centrally near downtown,shopping,and medical centers.A strengthening downtown draws employees,customers,and residents into the surrounding corridors,supporting lease demand that underpins the building estimated cap rate,and its redevelopment potential.
