A premium chocolate brand will open a new store in Sussex.

Hotel Chocolat is coming to Horsham in March this year. 

An empty unit in the town centre has stickers on the window with the store's branding which read: "Opening soon. For recruitment opportunities visit https://www.hotelchocolat.com/uk/careers."

It is thought that the store will be in Piries Place or the Carfax. 

The Argus contacted Hotel Chocolat for comment. It said it could not share further details at this time. 

However, on their recruitment page the store says it is looking for a sales advisor to join its new Horsham store opening in March. 

The closing date for applications is February 25. 

The job advert reads: "We are looking for passionate, enthusiastic and guest-focused sales advisors to join the brand new team.

"This is an amazing opportunity to work for an exciting, innovative and successful team as we expand across the UK."

In a Facebook post sharing the news, dozens of residents have shared their views on the arrival. 

Sophie Bryan said: "This is great news."

Sarah Poole added: "I am really pleased to see some of the empty units filling up again."

But Sarah d'Auvergne said: "It is lovely to see units filling up but wish it wasn't a big chain. Chococo Horsham in the Carfax is a wonderful small business with incredible chocolates and treats in their cafe."
