Tennis star Maria Sharapova is expected to be at the Candylicious store to celebrate the launch of her premium candy line Sugarpova in the Dubai Mall.

The brand launched exclusively at Candylicious in September, bringing Sharapova’s chocolates, truffles, gummies to a Dubai retail store for the very first time.

It is Sugarpova’s latest global expansion move following the brand’s debut in the UK, launching in all nine Kingdom of Sweets locations earlier this year.

Sharapova will host an event this Friday (20 December) afternoon at Candylicious in the Dubai Mall to introduce her sweets to new customers in Dubai, where she’ll meet fans, sign autographs and take photos.

Candylicious, an Emirati-grown concept, hosts the Middle East's largest candy store, and is one of the largest in the world, consisting of over 11,500 square feet and hosting more than 5,500 types of candy.
