British chocolatier and cocoa grower Hotel Chocolat has announced that it will be opening its first ever Irish café this October.
According to Retail Times, the new venue will occupy a 102 square metre space in Dublin's Dundrum shopping centre and will be offering customers a number of new cocoa-based beverages as well as the firm's full range of exclusive chocolates.
Commenting on the announcement, Simon Betty, director of retail for Ireland at the company that owns Dundrum shopping centre, Hammerson, asserted, "Hotel Chocolat is a perfect fit for Dundrum, where it will trade alongside other premium brands...Since taking ownership of Dundrum last year, we have worked to leverage our relationships with domestic and international brands in order to ensure an exciting and fresh retail mix, and this latest debut is testament to the success of that strategy."
