History
Stephanie Crocker and John McCaig were the original owners. The business started in First Hill. Its roots trace back to 2003 and the first storefront opened in December 2007. According to Seattle Metropolitan, Sugar "was spun from a husband and wife's experimentation with the apples from a tree in their front yard". Crocker announced her retirement in late 2016.
