An opening date for Kent’s newest Hotel Chocolat store has been revealed.

The popular chocolate stop will welcome customers to its site at the former Specsavers in Sevenoaks High Street next week.

It will be open from Monday, September 18, after boardings hinted at the new store last month.

Sales advisor jobs were being advertised on the company’s website for £10.50 per hour and the store is expected to open in September.

Hotel Chocolat’s co-founder Peter Harris said: “We’re making retail experiences that much more enjoyable with the opening of Hotel Chocolat at Sevenoaks. This latest opening is part of our plans to launch many more stores across the country in the next three to five years. Physical stores are extremely attractive.”

The chocolate manufacturer is moving into the old Specsavers which moved across the street when it took over the old Halifax bank branch earlier this year.

There are currently five stores in Kent, including Bluewater, Maidstone, Tunbridge Wells, Canterbury and Bromley.
