BLUEWATER Shopping Centre is about to become even sweeter as HARIBO UK announces its 11^th UK retail store opening. The news comes after the success of last year’s Hide N Seekers event, which saw HARIBO bringing the UK’s largest ball pit, fully stocked with delicious prizes and treats, to the UK’s fifth largest shopping centre.

The new store, which is expected to open early 2025, will allow fans to indulge in moments of fun and happiness all year round. Fans will be able to experience the joy and delight of unleashing your inner child when entering the new store. 

Rebecca Fox, Head of Retail at HARIBO UK, shared her excitement: “We’re thrilled to bring more childlike happiness to Kent with our Bluewater store. As our 11^th retail store in the UK, and first outside of an outlet, this is an exciting time for the business as we continue to invest in our retail offering across the UK. We can’t wait for HARIBO-lovers to explore this Happy World of HARIBO when we open the doors in the new year!”

James Waugh, Centre Director at Bluewater, added: “We are pleased to announce the upcoming launch of HARIBO Bluewater in early 2025. We know that our guests will enjoy the experiential shopping experience they’re set to receive at HARIBO, and it will add something truly unique to their Bluewater shopping experience.”
