Hotel Chocolat to open US store
UK-based Hotel Chocolat is to open its first US retail store in Boston next week. The chocolatier launched a US website in 2007 and this first store is set to be followed by two others by the end of the year.
Based in Royston, UK, Hotel Chocolat was founded in 1993. It changed its name to Hotel Chocolat in 2003 to prepare for retail expansion and today it has more than 35 stores in the UK.
