Hotel Chocolat has officially opened its new shop and café in South Warwickshire today (March 18) adding to its existing branch in Leamington Spa.
The new store, at Stratford-Upon-Avon's Maybird Shopping Park had a soft launch on Sunday before welcoming shoppers fully from 10am this morning.
The new site is significantly bigger than its Leamington counterpart and also includes a Velvetiser Café, serving iconic Velvetised drinking chocolate and other hot drinks.
Guests can select from thousands of combinations to personalize their drink including 18 flavours served hot, over ice or as a Choc Shake with dairy milk or a plant-based alternative, plus a variety of toppings.
This as well as the shop stocking Hotel Chocolat's full range of boutique chocolates.
Commenting on the new store, Hotel Chocolat's, omnichannel director, Frankie Haynes, said: "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-upon-Avon opening this March.
"Whether our customers are after a relaxing drink in one of our Velvetiser Cafes 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.
"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."
David Lodge, FM operations director of Maybird Shopping Park, said: "We're thrilled to welcome Hotel Chocolat which will really enhance the range and quality of our shopping outlets in Maybird.
"We wish them every success and look forward to working together to continue developing and expanding our retail experience."
