New Hotel Chocolat shop opening in Stratford next week
HOTEL Chocolat will open at the Maybird Centre in Stratford next week.
The luxury British cacao grower and chocolatier has had a store in Leamington’s Parade for a number of years but has opted for the out-of-town retail park in Stratford.
Director Frankie Haynes said: “Physical stores are extremely attractive and the beauty of being out-of-town is that we have good accessibility and parking so people can visit with ease.
“This latest opening is part of our plans to launch many more stores across the country in the next three to five years.”
Stratford’s store will be unveiled on Monday, 18th March.
Mr Haynes added: “After opening nine stores last year in 2023, we’re continuing to drive forward in making retail park experiences that much more enjoyable with the opening of our latest Hotel Chocolat store at Maybird Shopping Park in Stratford.
“Whether our customers are after a relaxing drink in one of our Velvetiser Cafés or would like to explore our range of top-quality chocolate, this new concept store offers guests the opportunity to shop at a more leisurely pace.”
The café has seating for 54 and will offer wide range of drinks, in addition to selling its renowned chocolates.
It will be offering what it calls “surprise and delight moments” to customers who buy on opening day, as well as 20 per cent off at the cafe for its members club cardholders.
The Maybird’s David Lodge said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Hotel Chocolat which will really enhance the range and quality of our shopping outlets in Maybird.”
