Two NV Grow clients win titles in the infamous Best of Las Vegas awards, Chocolatier category, showing they truly dominate the chocolate industry in Vegas. With a leading gold award for NV Grow client, Sugar & Spice and a Bronze award for NV Grow client, LV Baking Company, both are on a path of growth to keep showing more locals that they truly have some of the best chocolate in town and a booming businesses you do not want to miss out on.
Rated as the best chocolatier of 2023, Sugar & Spice is now growing exponentially as they provide award-winning chocolate peanut butter balls with a deeper purpose. Employing at-risk foster youth and young adults with autism, Sugar & Spice serves a mission to create a safe place for youth that normally struggle to find employment by allowing them to create and package the products while also working on their self-development and futures.
“Being named Best of Las Vegas in the “Chocolatier” category is an honor as it definitely leads to some bragging rights in our city,” says CEO of Sugar & Spice, Sheri Long. “My hope is that having this title will bring a curiosity to the people of Las Vegas and they will have a desire to try our Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls and check out why the hype.”
They provide delectable treats that have a smooth chocolate on the outside with a light and delicate creamy peanut butter krisp crunch on the inside. It’s the perfect treat for yourself and loved one that not only tastes good, but helps you feel good by knowing you’re helping youth get ahead in life. After receiving services from NV Grow in brand messaging and social media strategy, Sugar & Spice is only getting started and is expected to grow exponentially.
“As a small business owner doing it all, NV Grow has been a resource to assist in areas that may not necessarily be my strong point,” says Sheri Long, founder of Sugar & Spice. “I have learned new ways to approach various aspects of sales, promotion, and social media content. Having the assistance of NV Grow has provided a sense of security in knowing that there are supportive resources out there for small businesses assisting in many forms, and always as a silent cheerleader that is “on call” when questions may arise.”
Long time award winning bakery, Las Vegas Baking Company, placed bronze in 2023 while also placing silver in 2022 followed by bronze in 2021 and 2020. The baking company that offers bread with no preservatives, no bleached flour and is baked fresh on site everyday, is also growing in success through their famous and delicious chocolates which include truffles, dipped berries, designed sculptures, cakes and many more. For more than 15 years, they have been baking fresh, natural bread and creating high quality chocolates in the heart of ChinaTown while now also providing their delectables to casinos on the Vegas strip. “[Winning these awards has been] a great accomplishment for me and my staff, considering all the talent in this town,” says CEO of Las Vegas Baking Company, Cory Fields.
After receiving marketing services by NV Grow which included marketing strategy, video production services, financial assistance and more, Las Vegas Baking Company is definitely a bakery you do not want to miss out on. “NV Grow has helped me expand my advertising and labor budget and in turn I have been able to hire additional staff, also increase my advertising program,” says Cory Fields, owner of Las Vegas Baking Company. “I felt that with the assistance of NV Grown, it has had a positive impact on my business, not only from the grant but from the personal attention I received from everyone involved with the program!”
Both businesses have received assistance from NV Grow through the Clark County Technical and Economic Assistance Program (TEAP) where NV Grow has served as subject matter experts providing paid-for consultants and financial advisors to help both businesses grow.
NV Grow is very proud of Sugar & Spice and Las Vegas Baking Company for their hard work. It is an honor to serve you both.
