Bringing the best of belgian chocolate to the world
As we embark on our journey to expand Neuhaus across the world, we're in search of franchisees and locations in Europe and the United States that align with our commitment to delivering premium chocolates and exceptional experiences to local communities. Our ideal locations encompass the following criteria:
Retail surface: Spaces ranging from 30-35 Sqm2, providing enough room to showcase our exquisite chocolate creations and engage with our customers.
Storage space: A minimum of 20 Sqm2 dedicated to storage is essential to ensure that our chocolates are kept in optimal condition. This space allows us to maintain the quality and freshness of our products.
Strategic window placement: We appreciate the power of visually enticing displays. Locations with ample windows for exposure are preferred, allowing us to create captivating chocolate showcases.
Sunlight considerations: To maintain the delicate nature of our chocolates, we aim to avoid direct sunlight entering the windows. This precaution is vital to preserving the quality of the chocolate. South facing locations are therefor to be avoided.
Retail catchment population of minimum 75.000 people.
These location requirements will be carefully considered to ensure that each Neuhaus boutique can deliver the premium experience our customers expect. As we expand, we will prioritise these factors in selecting the locations to create a haven for chocolate lovers.
