Foodies will be pleased to here that the boutique chocolate retailer Cacao Sampaka, is planning to open its first UK outlets later this year.
The brand is part-owned by Ferran Adrià, the head chef of El Bulli, one of the world’s most celebrated Michelin 3-star restaurants which can be found near the town of Roses, Catalonia. As well as having equity in Cacao Sampaka, Adrià is also head of development for the brand. It already has a retail presence in Spain, Dubai and Tokyo.
Cacao Sampaka aims to open at least two combined café and retail outlets in Covent Garden and Canary Wharf by October. A wider roll-out will follow; a full UK ecommerce website will be launched next week. As part of a campaign created by NR Communications, the brand has signed up TV make-up artists as brand ambassadors to help position it as the ‘celebrities’ chocolate’.
