In its preliminary results for the year ended 30 June 2019, Hotel Chocolat has confirmed that its sales reached £132.5 million, up by 14 per cent on the previous year. It had opened 14 new UK and overseas stores, invested in two store refits and relocated three stores to larger sites.
Angus Thirlwell, co-founder & CEO commented: “I am pleased to report another year of significant progress for the Group with profits growing slightly ahead of expectations. In the UK, our physical locations performed well. Growth was underpinned by the combination of leisure, gifts and experiences including the Chocolate Lock-in tastings, as well as new ranges of drinks and chocolate-dipped ice lollies.”
Online sales via its own website grew by 22 per cent whilst wholesale revenues were increased by 19 per cent.
