Lindt & Sprüngli Australia will open its second Lindt Chocolate Shop in Queensland, at Harbour Town on the Gold Coast.

The new shop, opening in late May or early June, will feature classic Lindt design elements and will offer Australia’s largest selection of Lindor pick and mix with exclusive flavours such as Irish cream and dark hazelnut.

“This is an exciting time for Lindt and we are thrilled to be working with Harbour Town to lay down the foundations of this new and exciting concept on the Gold Coast,” said Stephen Loane, CEO of Lindt Australia.

“Our chocolate shops located within outlet malls have proven to be very successful and based on this we have identified Harbour Town Gold Coast to be a perfect addition to our retail portfolio.”

Lindt Australia operates eight chocolate cafés and eight chocolate shops across Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane.

Harbour Town Gold Coast is undergoing a $20 million expansion with the addition of up to 27 new retailers as part of the stage two north western development, where the Lindt Chocolate Shop will be located. The expansion will increase the footprint of Australia’s largest outlet shopping centre by 3500sqm to include an additional mall featuring a new collection of premium outlet brands, plus significant centre upgrades.
