Thorntons’ new Belfast city centre branch will open its doors next month.
Located on Arthur Square, the chocolate store will open on Thursday, 5 March.
It will have a café that celebrates sweet treats, including an afternoon tea for two with a chocolate fondue, a selection of cakes and hot chocolate.
The store will include a range of Thorntons confectionery including the Classic and Continental collections as well as a ‘Craftery’ where customers can create their own personalised chocolate box, as well as a personalisation station where customers can have messages iced on the products.
Sarah Ingram, Retail Director of Thorntons, said bringing the new store to Belfast is an exciting moment for Thorntons.
“It gives us the opportunity to pass the love on to local residents and showcase everything we have to offer from our famous range of chocolates to our ever-evolving experiences including our ‘Create Your Own’ craftery and personalisation station. We look forward to welcoming Belfast residents to the new store to experience the very best of Thorntons,” she said.
Thorntons has over 100 years’ experience in confectionery – starting its journey in Sheffield in 1911 where Joseph Thornton had the clear ambition to make his shop ‘the best sweet shop in town.’
Thorntons then grew its experience and knowledge around confectionery craftsmanship with the introduction of Easter Eggs in 1922, a unique toffee recipe in 1924 and the launch of Thorntons Continental in 1954.
The new Thorntons store and café will be open to the public on Thursday, 5 March at Arthur Square.
