About Uncle Joe'S

Traditional 4th generation family business specializing in the manufacture & wholesaling of confectionery since 1898. Uncle Joe's is now the umbrella brand for hundreds of products supplied worldwide.

Uncle Joe'S Description

Uncle Joe's has been making mints and traditional sweets by hand since 1898, in fact you could also say it’s the ‘Original Traditional Sweet Shop’ and is the home of the world famous, Uncle Joe's Mint Ball. Chocolates and toffees come and go in fads, but the perennial appeal of “Uncle Joe’s Mint Balls” lives on and after all these years the factory remains. The same sweets are produced in the same, careful manner; over gas fires and hand-made.

The company have been manufacturers and sellers of traditional sweets for over 100 years and the sweets are still made with the original recipes at our factory in Wigan, Lancashire; how many Wiganers at the turn of the century could ever have imagined that the delicious minty sweet they enjoyed was to become such a favourite all over the world and now available to buy online.

Uncle Joe's (William Santus & Co Ltd) is a traditional British sweet manufacturer and retailer selling old-fashioned, traditional sweets, retro sweets and candy gifts. With a fantastic range of old-school, retro sweets that taste delicious.

Uncle Joe’s Mint Balls are still manufactured using the same traditional methods as when Mrs Santus originally made the sweets in her kitchen in 1898. The completely natural “secret recipe” has been passed down through the family generations.

Love Uncle Joe's Mintballs but gutted you no longer make pear drops. The only ones that were smooth.

User

Just tried the new mint & aniseed from the miniature tin, great taste.

I was brought up on these mints (I'm now 52 years old) and eveytime I go into Wigan the smell of MINT brings back fond memories

User

I brought some lozenges how did I not hear of your company before got the throat and chest ones thought I’d give them a try and they attuley work thanks guys �

User

Brings back childhood memories.

A pity things move on. As a child we buy then loose in a paper bag. The consistency of the mint in the sweet was good, you may eat one that was very mild in mint but the next one could blow your head off.

User

Amazing! The best sweets in the world, hands down! A pure taste of childhood.

User

Addicted to Uncle Joes since my Grandma bought them for me from the stall in the old Wigan Market in the sixties

User

Sweetie heaven love the new sugar free mint balls.
