If a store was called Sans Sugar would think it sold sweets?

Sans meaning without I wouldn’t.
Rather the opposite.
Sugar-free sweets, that is.

I might if I lived in Florida.

Probably. I doubt all that enough people know what “sans” means. Best to stick to a term everyone understands.

That is risky. Unless you are going to prepare everything you sell and insure there is zero sugar in every single thing, be careful. You couldn’t sell carrots or fruit with a name like that. Think more along the lines of Just As Sweet.

^ I like Just as Sweet.

Just as Sweet is really nice. The problem is, I don’t picture the store as being only sweets. It would be low carb too. A place for diabetics and low carb dieters to find meals and sweets. It would be packaged goods like frozen meals, low sugar drinks, plus low sugar sweets.

The grocery stores here don’t have enough low sugar and no sugar products, people complain about it all the time. The thing is, grocery stores could easily change their product mix to compete if I opened something like that.

@JLeslie Yes, it would be a big risk and the big stores would pay less wholesale because of volume. How about Feel Good Food as a name?

JLeslie's avatar

I wouldn’t want to market it as a healthy food place. Feel Good Food implies healthy to me, did you intend that with the name?

janbb's avatar

Yes – good for specific needs but maybe you’re right and that sounds too general.

JLeslie's avatar

I feel hesitant to call frozen foods that are fatty, packaged foods with preservatives, or sugarless cand, healthy. All of which can be low carb.

The old time candy might be better.

Maybe with all alternative sweeteners?

Either that or it’s owned by a punctuation-challenged person named San.

No. I would assume it does not sell sweets. I refuse to eat anything that says it’s fat free or sugar free when fat or sugar is what that item is all about. I figure if you are supposed to have fat or sugar in your diet, then don’t have fat or sugar in your diet!
