    Quality Street

    Share
    Facebook Twitter Pinterest WhatsApp Reddit Email

    First appearing in sweet shops in 1936, Quality Street was the brainchild of Harold Mackintosh, son of company founder John Mackintosh.

    The name was inspired by the popular play written by JM Barrie and first performed in London in 1902.

    The promotional characters (a soldier and a lady) were aptly named “Miss Sweetly” and “Major Quality”.
