Boom time for brownie-making business

Love Brownies announce plans for nine new outlets before end of 2021.

It’s promising to be another big year for Yorkshire-based business Love Brownies who recently announced that they will be opening nine more outlets before the end of 2021. Love Brownies has been delighting its customers with their baked goodies since opening for business in 2009, and over the last 12 years have built up a UK network of 13 stores.

The award-winning bakery was the brainchild of Chantal Teal whose first brownie shop was opened in her local town of Ilkley. Cafe No 13 was recently unveiled in Bristol, while others already exist in Harrogate, West Kirby (Merseyside), Islington, Southgate (Middlesex), Guildford, Canterbury, Swindon, Clapham, Penarth, Loughton (Essex) and Barden (Yorkshire).

The ever-expanding company recently moved to larger headquarters in Ilkley, where Love Brownies employ nine members of staff, while another 80 work UK-wide. New stores will be opening their doors shortly in St Albans, Rochester and the Yorkshire village of Grassington, with Love Brownies planning to open six others before the end of the year.

Owner and head-baker Chantal Teal said: “We’re delighted to have reached the milestone of our thirteenth UK opening and are so excited to bring the Love Brownies brand to more communities. We’re grateful to have gone from strength to strength over a very challenging period and we’re so pleased to have an ambitious schedule of openings planned for the near future.”

Love Brownies sell their goods in shops, cafes and online, and this major expansion announcement will mean the company has almost doubled its size of outlets since the start of 2021.
