A sweet bakery is opening its third store despite only being open eight months.

Cheran's Bakery will now be serving its popular cinnamon buns, brownies and cakes in Rochester High Street as well as Sittingbourne and Canterbury.

Owner of the business, Cheran Friedman, is to open her latest store in the former Love Brownies unit later next month.

Mystery surrounded the previous coffee shop's future after it had been shut for several months.

Cheran said: "We picked up the keys for this new shop over the weekend and with some hard work we hope to open around Saturday, February 25."

The 30-year-old's business first began in West Street, Sittingbourne, in June last year.

Cheran, a mother-of-two, not only serves up a range of sweet treats to eat but also milkshakes, bubble tea and many hot drinks.

After being a big success in Swale Cheran opened a second store in Sun Street, Canterbury, in December.

She said: "Our support from our customers is what has pushed us to open a third store.

"The first week of January was really quiet, but obviously that's expected because everyone's on a diet!

"But the last two weekends we sold out every single thing we'd made, it's been mad.

"Our best sellers are definitely the cinnamon buns.

"Myself and one of the workers had to bake all night just to get things back in stock again."

Cheran, who also runs a car and bike touch up paint company, said she did face a little negativity when she first started the business.

She said: "When I first started a lot of comments on social media said that the business wouldn't last as there isn't a want for sweet treats.

"But despite all that we've managed to push on and open another store. I've turned the business into a chain.

"There are also some more exciting plans for the future of Cheran's Bakery so keep an eye open!"
