Happy thursday,

 

Be-a-Bella baby!!

 

Lets go!

There's a shop in Edmonton that stops you mid-stride — and Be-a-Bella is opening a second location to do exactly that.

 

The beloved Highlands institution is expanding into Glenora, now open at 10340 134 Street NW.

 

Equal parts traditional British sweet shop and one-of-a-kind gift destination, Be-a-Bella built its reputation on 112 Avenue with obsessive curation and genuine heart.

 

The candy selection — rooted in classic British confections — rotates constantly, ranging from nostalgic childhood favourites to fresh imported finds.

 

The gift side is just as carefully assembled, with hand-painted glass dispensers crafted in-house setting it apart from anything else in Edmonton's retail market.

 

Glenora — a tree-lined, historically rich neighbourhood just west of downtown — is a fitting home for a shop that values local character over chain convenience.

 

For longtime fans and first-timers alike, this is the kind of shop you simply cannot leave empty-handed.
