A new cake shop has opened its doors to customers in Chatham High Street this weekend, offering completely egg-free versions of fresh cream treats. Cake Box opened its latest branch on Saturday, 29 August, which is located next to the Shoe Zone footwear store. The franchise first launched in 2008 in London, on a mission to provide the UK with a new concept; delicious fresh cream celebration cakes made without using eggs. It opened its first franchise a year later and now has more than 140 branches across the UK, including the existing store in Strood. As well as offering click and collect, Cake Box also creates personalised cakes which can be ordered online and collected within an hour.
It is not known how many jobs have been created at the new Chatham branch. However, the opening of Cake Box comes at a difficult time for Chatham town centre, which has faced numerous store closures by national brands. Only this year, at least four big businesses have pulled out from the 'city centre' of Medway, including Debenhams in January, Buzz Bingo in July and GO Outdoors just earlier this month, while the Co-op Bank will permanently shut in November. Comments are closed.
