A long-running chocolate shop at Chatham's Dockside Outlet Centre has permanently closed its doors.
The Cadbury Outlet store closed on Friday, 24 September after 18 years at the discount shopping centre due to a decision not to extend its lease. Staff members thanked the local community for their custom in a Facebook post published this week.
John Liptrot, managing director at Cadbury Outlet, said: "I can confirm that Freshstores Ltd the Licensed operator's of Cadbury Outlet Shops in the UK has taken the option not to extend the lease at Chatham Dockside at the end of September 2021 and the shop is now empty and permanently closed."
He added that Freshstores Ltd will continue to operate its 15 remaining Cadbury Outlets across the UK and invest in future expansion. The Cadbury store at Dockside Outlet Centre was among the first tenants of the shopping centre when it opened in 2003. In October 2018 it then moved to a different retail unit with a new store look opposite the former Boomers café. The shop sold the iconic brand's popular chocolate treats, classic sweets and a range of Cadbury gifts and memorabilia.
