Australia\u2019s oldest family-owned bean-to-bar chocolate maker will open the doors of its first Queensland store on Friday morning with more than 280 varieties available in the Haigh\u2019s Brisbane shop.<\/p>\n
Founded in Adelaide in 1915, Haigh\u2019s Chocolates will open its store at Westfield Mount Gravatt and fans will have the chance to buy an extensive range of artisan chocolates while enjoying complimentary tastings in-store.<\/p>\n
Haigh\u2019s Chocolates chief executive, Peter Millard said the reaction since announcing the company\u2019s arrival in Brisbane had been overwhelmingly positive. <\/p>\n
\u201cSince announcing that we were coming to Brisbane, we have had so many Haigh\u2019s fans and online customers reaching out, asking where they can visit and when we will be open,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cQueensland has been one of our strongest online markets for years so opening our first store at Westfield Mt Gravatt marks the start of establishing our bricks and mortar experience here, with Chermside and Carindale to follow in November.\u201d<\/p>\n
Haigh\u2019s Chocolates was founded by Alfred E Haigh and it is still run by the fourth generation of the family. <\/p>\n
Haigh\u2019s currently have 23 retail stores in Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra, which will be expanding to 26 by the end of 2026 with the three new Brisbane stores.<\/p>\n
Chocolate Speckles are one of Haigh\u2019s most popular chocolates and the company produces 126 tonnes, equivalent to 25 million individual speckles, a year.<\/p>\n
The Chocolate Frog is an iconic Haigh\u2019s product synonymous with the brand. Haigh\u2019s have been making frogs since the 1930s. Each year 6 million Chocolate Frogs of all sizes (three sizes in four flavours) are produced.<\/p>\n
The company has also been producing over 20 million individual milk and dark chocolate Scorched Almonds each year.<\/p>\n
Westfield Mt Gravatt centre manager Kel Walsh said the team was excited to welcome Haigh\u2019s first Brisbane store.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs one of Australia\u2019s iconic chocolate makers, Haigh\u2019s is a much-loved brand, and we\u2019ve seen strong anticipation from customers ahead of the opening,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe look forward to introducing more Brisbane customers to the premium quality and exceptional service that has made Haigh\u2019s a favourite for generations.\u201d <\/p>\n
On opening day, the first 50 customers to visit and make a purchase at the Haigh\u2019s Chocolates at the store will receive a free Milk Chocolate Midi Frog. <\/p>\n
Additionally, customers who spend $75 or more in-store will receive a complimentary packet of Milk Chocolate Speckles with the offer running to September 4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Australia\u2019s oldest family-owned bean-to-bar chocolate maker will open the doors of its first Queensland store on Friday morning…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":82228,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[130788,77139,130792,130823,130784,130793,61754,130800,130822,130829,130787,130816,130815,130825,130840,6257,130801,130785,37016,130798,130810,130838,130813,79977,130781,395,130790,96264,130783,130824,31482,23,130808,99,130839,130789,130827,6663,130821,38383,130803,37528,130805,130782,130806,7247,130820,9715,130796,1227,130835,130830,130818,130791,260,130795,130833,130837,130817,36526,25868,130831,130812,130819,92917,130794,130804,212,130786,130832,130811,130797,130799,49984,48035,36759,39452,38263,36700,130836,130809,130834,57893,47921,130814,39460,37679,54267,38140,130828,130802,31666,130826,130807,31772],"class_list":["post-82227","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brisbane","tag-s-a-favourite","tag-s-arrival","tag-s-brisbane-shop","tag-s-chocolate-store","tag-s-chocolates","tag-s-chocolates-chief-executive","tag-s-fans","tag-s-first-brisbane-store","tag-s-iconic-chocolate-makers","tag-s-oldest-family-owned-bean-to-bar-chocolate-maker","tag-s-product","tag-75-or-more-in-store","tag-126-tonnes","tag-130825","tag-20-million-individual-milk","tag-6257","tag-23-retail-stores","tag-25-million-individual-speckles","tag-37016","tag-6-million-chocolate-frogs","tag-a-complimentary-packet","tag-a-free-milk-chocolate-midi-frog","tag-a-much-loved-brand","tag-a-purchase","tag-a-year-the-chocolate-frog","tag-adelaide","tag-alfred-e-haigh","tag-all-sizes","tag-an-extensive-range","tag-an-iconic-haigh","tag-artisan-chocolates","tag-australia","tag-beloved-chocolate-brand","tag-brisbane","tag-brisbane-store","tag-chermside-and-carindale","tag-chocolates","tag-company","tag-complimentary-tastings","tag-customers","tag-dark-chocolate-scorched-almonds","tag-each-year","tag-each-year-westfield-mt-gravatt-centre-manager-kel-walsh","tag-equivalent","tag-exceptional-service","tag-fans","tag-four-flavours","tag-friday","tag-frogs","tag-generations","tag-haigh","tag-its-first-queensland-store","tag-its-store","tag-major-queensland-expansion","tag-melbourne","tag-milk-chocolate-speckles","tag-more-brisbane-customers","tag-more-than-280-artisan-varieties","tag-more-than-280-varieties","tag-morning","tag-november","tag-online-customers","tag-opening-day","tag-our-bricks-and-mortar-experience","tag-our-first-store","tag-our-strongest-online-markets","tag-peter-millard","tag-queensland","tag-september-4","tag-store-haigh","tag-strong-anticipation","tag-sydney-and-canberra","tag-the-1930s","tag-the-brand","tag-the-chance","tag-the-company","tag-the-doors","tag-the-end","tag-the-family","tag-the-first-50-customers","tag-the-fourth-generation","tag-the-haigh","tag-the-offer","tag-the-opening","tag-the-premium-quality","tag-the-reaction","tag-the-start","tag-the-store","tag-the-team","tag-the-three-new-brisbane-stores-chocolate-speckles","tag-three-sizes","tag-today","tag-westfield-mount-gravatt","tag-westfield-mt-gravatt","tag-years"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82227","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=82227"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82227\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/82228"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=82227"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=82227"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=82227"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
