Gabby Zhaukesh is the founder of Sugar Bear Candy Store and GZ Empire, a growing sweets and candy business built on determination, creativity, and a love for bringing joy to people. After coming to the United States from Kazakhstan with only $100, Gabby started from humble beginnings, working her way up through housekeeping, McDonald’s, and retail to become a business owner.
Today, Sugar Bear Candy Store is known for combining old-fashioned candies, nostalgic childhood favorites, trending sweets, and unique treats that are hard to find in many other places. Gabby’s mission is to create more than just a candy store; she wants to create a sweet experience that brings happiness, memories, and excitement to every customer.
