Hotel Chocolat Set To Open In Market Harborough

The chain, which sells a range of luxury chocolate goods, wants to move into the former Wildwood restaurant premises on the High Street, which has been vacant for over a year.

Agents acting on behalf of Hotel Chocolat have submitted a planning application to make internal changes to the historic grade-two listed building, which was previously the White Lion pub.

The upmarket chocolatier has over 130 stores across the UK and the opening in Market Harborough would create a number of jobs.

Gareth Thomas, President of Market Harborough Chamber of Trade and Commerce, has welcomed the announcement:

Harborough District Council will consider the application.
