The outpouring of love and admiration we have received from you over the last few days of this page's creation is nothing short of astonishing. We've literally received well wishes from 19 different countries as well as all over America.

Wanda is truly an INTERNATIONAL phenomenon that started right here in Milford, CT. Her total love for The Sugar Shack and all of its customers throughout her 40 year career as its owner and operator have been her absolute passion. On behalf of Wanda and her family we'd like to say that while this chapter of the Wanda's Sugar Shack legacy is ending, the future is NOT set in stone.
