Hotel Chocolat will open 25 new stores in 2025 in city and market towns across the UK. It will also upsize some of its existing stores and invest a further £10m to expand its manufacturing facility.
Angus Thirlwell, CEO of Hotel Chocolat, said: “The UK is the home of the Hotel Chocolat brand, and we’re committed to investing in the UK high street and British manufacturing. Demand for our products is greater than ever, and we’re opening stores across the UK, allowing us to bring ‘more cocoa, less sugar’ products to those who love them and bringing our incredible brand experience to life.
“When we agreed to be majority-acquired by Mars, our cultural values were alinged. We state that there would be an unwavering commitment to our home in the UK both on the high street and investing in manufacturing excellence in Britain. Today’s announcement underlines that commitment and shows that Hotel Chocolat is one of Britain’s best-loved brands.”
