This summer's fog left a wake of disaster following the loss of magic and the plagues settling over town. Little was spared and Honeyduke's Sweet Shop was no exception. The shop was trashed by a fully-grown mountain troll in late June after the fog rolled into the normally-bustling burg.

Despite the response by both relevant ministry personnel and civilians alike, without magic to tame the troll, the shop itself collapsed under the attack. Mr. Quincey Honeyduke was left both homeless and unemployed with the shop's destruction, though was optimistic about a complete renovation.  

After speaking to engineers and architects about the structure of the building, Mr. Honeyduke was given the okay to push ahead with the reconstruction at a steady pace throughout the late summer and early autumn. "It was a fast-paced rebuild, thank Merlin," Mr. Honeyduke said of the project. "Once the structure was sound, we were able to quickly fix up the living quarters upstairs and really focus on the shop itself. New colors, a fresh mural by Miss Zinnia Potts and we're almost ready to go, just need to fill the shelves." Of which he assured us that they would be fully stocked by the time she shop is reopened to the public.

The Sweet Shop will be reopening on Wednesday October 31st, just in time for Halloween festivities with a re-launch party featuring new sweets, refreshments, free samples and all of your old favorites.
