🌟 Small Business Wednesday Spotlight: Sugar & Spice

This hashtag , NV Grow is shining the spotlight on Sheri Long, founder of Sugar & Spice, a Henderson-based woman-owned business proving that entrepreneurship can be both successful and purpose-driven.

Known for its delicious gourmet Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls, Sugar & Spice is about much more than chocolate. Sheri, a former educator, has made workforce development part of her business mission by creating hands-on opportunities for young adults who face barriers to traditional employment.

Through the Sugar & Spice kitchen, participants gain real-world experience while learning valuable skills such as teamwork, communication, time management, responsibility and food safety — all while helping make and package the company's signature treats.

Sheri's philosophy is summed up in the company's mission: “Changing Lives One Box at a Time.”

NV Grow is proud to support entrepreneurs like Sheri who are growing their businesses while finding meaningful ways to strengthen our Southern Nevada community. Sheri is also part of the latest cohort of the Henderson Small Business Assistance (HSBA) Program.
