We are thrilled to be opening our fifth Chocolate House this Saturday 6th December, our first in London and our first new store opening in seven years. The last one was Horsham back in 2018, in the world before Covid impacted all our lives.
We seem to have got into a bit of a habit of opening new stores on this particular weekend. Saturday is also the 23rd birthday of Chococo. It was back in December 2002 that Claire and Andy launched Chococo in a converted hairdressers in a backstreet in Swanage, Dorset, and this weekend also marks 12 years since we opened our second Chocolate House in Winchester.
Our new Chocolate House is in West Dulwich and we have been warmly welcomed so far by the local community, which has been very heart-warming. We are aiming to open our doors at 9am on Saturday, with a following wind on Friday 5th to get all the final things done in time, and look forward to welcoming you all.
Giudi, our Dulwich manager, and her team are looking forward hugely to welcoming you. We have a host of opening weekend special offers including free samples of our chocolates and hot chocolate, and a free chocolate bar for all shop purchases of £10 or more. There are extra treats on Saturday itself: an entertainer for the little people in the morning, a spin the wheel to win chocolate prizes, a guess the number of cocoa beans in the jar to win a chocolate hamper, and a lucky dip to win a golden ticket.
We are easy to find on Croxted Road, in between Tesco Express and the Dulwich Trader. You can't miss us, we are the red and pink frontage.
