Empowering Opportunities for Women and Beyond:
At Sweet Street, we are committed to providing opportunities for women and all individuals seeking to advance in their careers. We ensure that growth opportunities are available to all who strive for personal and professional development. In Pennsylvania, our Founder and CEO, Sandy Solmon, has been recognized as one of the 50 Best Women in Business, highlighting her significant contributions to the state’s economy and communities.
We believe in learning from diverse experiences and embracing each other’s strengths. Our workplace culture fosters collaboration, cultural vibrancy, and inclusion, mirroring the diversity of our beloved city. For instance, 60% of our production supervisors have been promoted from entry level positions.

Supporting Women Farmers
We are delighted to collaborate with the Chef4Kids organization for our Gluten Free Manifesto Honduran Chocolate Brownie. Through our partnership and others, the Honduran Cocoa Program engages with three cocoa cooperatives across two Honduran communities, offering training, education, and support for women farmers. This initiative equips them with the skills and income necessary to uplift their families and villages, while also imparting sustainable farming practices to ensure long-term land vitality for future generations.
