Hey there!
I’m Tracy Gunn.
Welcome to my world!
I'm excited to work with you.
Watch the video to learn how.
When you think Charlotte, think Candy, think community—you’re thinking of me. 😊
I’m an entrepreneur, speaker, investor, and yes—The Candy Lady.
What started as one small candy store turned into a movement.
Today, I’m building an empire that spans consulting, real estate, and retail—all rooted in the power of brand, experience, and connection.
Let’s build something sweet together.
If you’ve got big dreams and a bigger drive, you’re in the right place—because so do we.
Together, we’ll turn bold ideas into real results. With the right plan, the right people, and a little sweetness along the way, we can make it all happen— one step at a time.

About Tracy Gunn
Life is Sweet
Hi, I’m Tracy Gunn
—a serial entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and yes…
“The Candy Lady.”
I started with a dream and a single candy store.
Today, I’m intentionally building an empire that spans
retail, real estate, and business acquisitions
—all rooted in community, creativity, and calculated moves.
I believe success isn’t just about hustle—it’s about having a clear target, relentless follow-through, and yes… making it fun along the way.
Now, I’m sharing what I’ve learned and building businesses that create freedom, impact, and legacy.
If you’re ready to grow, sell, partner—or just dream a little bigger— you’re in the right place.
"If I can build an empire including candy stores and consulting, so can you. It all starts with a plan—and the courage to see it through.”
