Haribo to open sweet shop at Kent’s Bluewater Shopping Centre
Haribo is to open its 11th UK store and first outside of an outlet at Kent’s Bluewater Shopping Centre.
The news follows the success of the confectionery brand’s Hide N Seekers event at the centre last year, which featured the UK’s largest ball pit that was also filled with prizes and treats.
The new shop is expected to open in early 2025.
Rebecca Fox, head of retail at Haribo UK, said: “As our 11th retail store in the UK, and first outside of an outlet, this is an exciting time for the business as we continue to invest in our retail offering across the UK. We can’t wait for Haribo lovers to explore this Happy World of Haribo when we open the doors in the new year.”
James Waugh, centre director at Bluewater, added: “We are pleased to announce the upcoming launch of Haribo Bluewater in early 2025. We know that our guests will enjoy the experiential shopping experience they’re set to receive at Haribo, and it will add something truly unique to their Bluewater shopping experience.”
