Hotel Chocolat on its way to Stratford

The Stratford Herald understands that luxury chocolate and gift retailer Hotel Chocolat is advertising for staff at a new shop in the town.

The company is yet to confirm exactly when or where it will be opening, but its potential move into the town has been welcomed by Stratforward BID.

Joe Baconnet, director of Stratforward BID, said: “I know that they are recruiting because we’ve seen the adverts looking for staff in a variety of roles.

“We’re just waiting for a formal announcement on it now really. It’s quite exciting because for some people this will be yet another reason to come and visit Stratford.”
