Swiss premium chocolatier Lindt plans to open its first shop in New Zealand at the Manawa Bay premium outlet centre in September. 

The chocolate shop will join over 100 international and national businesses at Manawa Bay, located adjacent to Auckland International Airport. The store will be accessible through the central entry and close to the eating area, which overlooks park-like surroundings and a children’s play area.

Customers will be able to experience Lindt’s products, such as Crema Gelata Ice Cream, and hot or cold chocolate drinks produced with pure Lindt chocolate, in addition to personalising their selections at Lindt’s ‘Pick-and Mix’ station.  

“We are pleased to bring the finest Lindt Chocolate shopping experience to Manawa  Bay,” said Michael Schai, CEO of Lindt Australia and New Zealand.

“It is a great addition to our store portfolio and we know the shoppers at Manawa Bay will enjoy indulging in the exclusive gourmet ranges on offer.”

With a 179-year history, Lindt now sells 2500-plus items in more than 120 countries across the world.
