It’s the end of the road for Lucocoa 💔
We’ve got some bittersweet news to share with you 💔 After much thought, we’ve made the tough decision to close Lucocoa. It’s been an incredible and amazing 9 years 🙌🏾
We have been on the hunt for investment for the last few years but have always hit a brick wall; this in an ever-increasing landscape which has made running a business like ours increasingly difficult. We came through COVID-19 and battled through Brexit, which meant importing ingredients became difficult and expensive.
With machines like ours that need to be on for at least three days straight to make the chocolate, the bills continued to rise. Inflation, as you know, has really been a game changer, and let's be honest, there is only so much right now you can pay for a chocolate bar!
Whilst it is viable for us to continue in our current capacity, we are at a crossroads with so much in flux.
It’s a shame, as I love what we do and am so proud of what I have achieved. It's been a joy getting to know some of you really well and hearing about the love you have for Lucocoa, too.
So, What, When, etc?
Our last day in our factory here in Bermondsey will be Friday, July 19th.
We will be accepting new orders from now until Wednesday, 10th July.
Thank you so much again for your support 🍫
