BRAINTREE Village has unveiled three fully refurbished stores in time for the run-up to Christmas.

The shopping village has opened new-look stores for British chocolatier Cadbury, menswear brand Jack & Jones and French cookware Le Creuset.

Cadbury has introduced a brand-new ‘Hot Chocolate 2GO’ tap at its Braintree Village store, which is the only one of its kind in the region.

Guests can now enjoy a hot beverage whilst browsing the store, which has now relocated to a larger, 1,245 sq ft unit, opposite Samsonite.

The store will continue to sell a selection of chocolate treats, sweet shop favourites and a range of Cadbury gifts and memorabilia.
