Pop-up brownie shop launches at York

Leeds brownie company Brown and Blond has launched a pop-up store at York Railway station.

The 25 year-old baker and owner of Brown and Blond, George Welton, has brought his products to the capital of chocolate just in time for Easter.

Expansion plans will see the company launch pop-ups across transport hubs and shopping centres in the UK>

“Over the years we have built up a loyal following at outside events such as farmers markets and it seemed a good idea to expand the retail side of the business by ‘popping up’ at other venues,” explained George.

“Our aim is to engage with new customers and explore new markets. It is early days but so far the commuters at York seem to love the idea with our range of brownies proving to be just the ticket for passengers.”

Meanwhile, the wholesale side of the business continues to flourish. “We had a record breaking start to January with turnover up three fold and every week new enquiries are coming in from potential customers around the country.”
