Cadbury Chocolate Emporium

sunnyside · 29-04-2010 5:57pm #1

I don't know what this is but I'm hoping somebody here does. I got so excited when I saw it today, it's on Patrick Street/Opera Lane just next to Tommy Hilfiger. It's not open yet but says "coming soon" on the window. I've got images of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory in my head now. It must be something fabulous, surely they wouldn't need an expensive looking space on Opera Lane just to sell regular chocolate bars?

Sounds class - exact same images came into my head when I read the title, Willy Wonka!

Maybe it's one of those pop up shops that will only be there for a week or 2. Can't wait!!

They've been talking about it a lot on the radio, meant to be opening this weekend I believe. I got the impression it was only a temporary fixture though...which may or may not be a bad thing :P

Well, hopefully it will still be there at the end of May when I get to return to the hometown

Cadbury Ireland Hi Guys, we're busy setting up the Emporium in Cork at the moment and have found a cool new location so we've moved to 94 Patrick Street (around the corner from where we originally told you). Hope you can make it on Friday or Saturday

Free chocolate is free chocolate

Though I thought the chocolate was nicer before they changed it!

Right, I'll be in town on Saturday anyway. I'm there! Hope it doesn't close early though, because I won't be in until about 5.30.
