Hotel Chocolat is set to open a new high street store next month.

Advertising for the popular chocolate shop has been spotted at the site of a former Specsavers.

The boardings, which were pictured in Sevenoaks High Street, simply read: “Opening soon. For recruitment opportunities visit here.”

Sales advisor jobs are being advertised on the companies website for £10.50 per hour and the store is expected to open in September.

Applications for the role close on Thursday. An information post about the role says: “As we continue our mission to make people happy through chocolate, we’re opening brand new stores this year and we’re coming to Sevenoaks in September.

“We’re looking for passionate, enthusiastic and guest focused sales advisors to join the brand new team. You’ll engage with our guests to showcase our products in a warm and personable manner ensuring that an amazing experience is delivered through excellent product and brand knowledge.”

The chocolate manufacturer is moving into the old Specsavers which moved across the street when it took over the old Halifax bank branch earlier this year.

There are currently five stores in Kent, including Bluewater, Maidstone, Tunbridge Wells, Canterbury and Bromley.
