Premium chocolate brand Lindt has confirmed the opening date for its new Cheshire Oaks store. The confectionary chain has moved to a larger unit at the designer outlet, which is popular with Stoke-on-Trent shoppers – and will welcome customers to its new home on Thursday, July 18.
To celebrate the store will be giving away 200 free goodie bags to the first shoppers inside. The new store includes an ice-cream and drinks station serving Lindt ‘Crema Gelata’ ice-cream, chocolate shakes and hot chocolate.
It comes as Cheshire Oaks also reveals that stationery brand Smiggle will also be opening a new unit at the shopping park.
Lindt Cheshire Oaks store manager Alison Rimmer-Bentley said: “We’re thrilled to welcome our valued customers and chocolate enthusiasts to our larger redesigned and relocated store. To celebrate the opening, we’ll be giving away 200 goodie bags for the first 200 customers, who make a purchase of £5 or more during opening day.
She added: “Make sure you try indulgently smooth and creamy white or milk chocolate Crema Gelata during your visit. For those who find it hard to choose which flavour, we also have a ‘Twist’ ice-cream option, with both flavours combined in a delightful spiral. Come along and try this scrumptious ice-cream, shake or hot chocolate, you won’t be disappointed!”
Meanwhile, Smiggle has put up signage up at a vacant unit on the popular outlet. According to the McArthurGlen website, the new Cheshire Oaks store is ‘coming soon’.
It adds: “Smiggle is the ultimate destination for your school, birthday and holiday essentials. From backpacks and drink bottles, to gift packs and keyrings, Smiggle is the original creator of all things colourful, fun, unique and on trend.”
