Title: Cadbury’s shop
Post by: smurfboy on April 01, 2006, 02:58:51 am

Cadbury have announced plans to open their first dedicated shop in the city their empire began - Birmingham.


The chocolate giants have experimented with market stall-style concessions in the past, but this is the first time Cadbury have taken on such an ambitious project. The store, which is to be situated in Birmingham's Bullring shopping centre, will open in mid-May, and as well as carrying the company's entire UK range, will feature lines currently only available in mainland Europe and Asia.


'The Cadbury store is a project we've been working on for a while, and it seems fitting that it should be based in the company's home city', said spokeswoman Gillian Woods. 'It will not only give consumers the chance to obtain anything they want from our entire range from one location - including items previously only available from the Cadbury Gifts website - but also gives us a chance to test new lines'.


The store has been provisionally named Cadbury World, after the company's flagship tourist attraction in Bourneville.

Sounds good to me. Mind you, I hope Nestle don't follow their example.

But that is now ancient history. What use the name if the taste is no more?

The clue was in the apostrophe. I maybe mispelled the clothing.

No. You're spot on. I just need to put my glasses on and get my poor brain in gear!

My humour is "strange", I'll grant you. You're more than excused.

Come on Smurfy, you are now safe to admit this was an April Fool!

It was a good plausible one.  They are the best.
