Butlers Chocolate increases footprint in Blanchardstown Centre

Store set to increase to 1,500 sq ft. New lease highlights ongoing appeal of Blanchardstown Centre as prime retail destination

Butlers Chocolates, the premier family-owned chocolate-makers, have signed a new ten-year lease at Blanchardstown Centre, expanding the current store to 1,500 sq ft. The new store and café will provide more seating space and an enhanced customer experience, located on Level One of the Centre, right next to Brown Thomas and Marks & Spencer’s.

Butlers Chocolates began life in Dublin’s Lad Lane in 1932, founded by a pioneering woman called Marion Butler. The company is one of the few remaining family-owned chocolate producers in the market.

Blanchardstown Centre is Dublin’s largest retail and leisure destination, spanning over 1.1 million sq ft. The centre acts as a key community focal point and attracts high visitor numbers from Dublin and surrounding counties, with an annual footfall of over 16 million.

Today’s announcement reflects the centre’s ongoing appeal for top-quality brands. It follows several other recent signings – including ZARA, FLANNELS, Nike Unite and Bershka.

Sharon Walsh, Leasing Director at Falcon AM, asset managers for Blanchardstown Centre, commented:

“It’s great news that Butlers have decided to expand their store with us at Blanchardstown Centre and we know that customers will be delighted with the new and improved café.

“Our food and beverage offer is central to visitor experience – and a key footfall driver – so we always work hard to keep it fresh and compelling. Butlers is loved by all and exactly the type of name we want here at the centre.”
