PRESS RELEASE: Goodis launches in the USA: ”Starting today – Sweeden your day”
New York, November 2024 – Goodis, a Swedish candy company, has officially launched its online store in the USA. With facilities in the New York metro area, candy imported from Sweden and fast delivery all over the USA, Goodis offers a seamless way for Americans to ”sweeden” their day.
Co-founder Timothy Akguc comments: ”From seasonal gift boxes to our digital pick-and-mix feature, we want Americans to experience the full magic of Swedish candy. Goodis is about offering high-quality candy that is free from artificial dyes, GMOs and high-fructose corn syrup. It truly is the best in the world.”
Fell in love with Swedish candy
Timothy is a New Jersey native with an upbringing in real estate development and in the jewelry industry. Inspired by his many trips to Sweden, where he visited friends and family, he fell in love with Swedish candy. After noticing that he wasn't alone – "all of us asked our Swedish cousins to bring candy when they came to visit us" – he founded Goodis together with two Swedes.
One of them is his cousin Nemrud Kurt, a journalist, author and copywriter with years of experience in e-commerce and digital marketing. The other one is a customer-obsessed sales expert, Isa Afram. Together, they find the sweet spot between Swedish tradition and American innovation.
”Goodis delivers candy to your doorstep within standard U.S. timeframes, eliminating long waits. All our candy is imported from Sweden. Apart from pick-and-mix and gift boxes, we offer assorted bags based on taste preferences and Swedish classics such as Kexchoklad, Bilar, and chocolate from Marabou", Timothy says.
"Passion for every customer experience"
Goodis also focuses on storytelling, including interviews with leading Swedish manufacturers, factory visits and the history of the beloved Swedish tradition ”lördagsgodis” (Saturday candy). Looking ahead, the company has ambitious plans.
”In two years, the FIFA World Cup will take place in North America, mainly in the USA. Our goal is to become the go-to brand for Swedish Candy in the USA, known not just for our products, but also the passion and care we bring to every customer experience”, Timothy says.
