Australia’s Oldest Family-Owned Chocolatier Is Finally Making Its Brisbane Debut

No more stuffing your luggage with chocolate frogs when you’re flying home from a trip interstate because Haigh’s Chocolates is finally making its highly anticipated retail debut in Brisbane. 

As Australia’s oldest family-owned premium chocolate maker, Haigh’s has been sweetening the national scene with their meticulous artisan skills since 1915. They pride themselves on being a ‘bean to bar’ specialist—ethically sourcing raw cocoa beans to create their unique blends of milk and dark chocolate for four generations.

“We’re thrilled to deliver our premium chocolates and signature Haigh’s experience direct to the hands of customers in Brisbane,” said family member and brand ambassador Alister Haigh. “It’s been a long time coming, undoubtedly there will be many Brisbane chocolate lovers delighted to hear this news.”

Haigh’s is coming in hot to Queensland with three new stores set to open this year at Westfield Mt Gravatt in August, then Chermside and Carindale down the track. That means you can get your hands on their iconic chocolate frogs, popular chocolate speckles and signature scorched almonds IRL.

“With Queensland customers representing 18 percent of our online sales and increased capacity following the opening of our new production, warehouse and online fulfilment facility in South Australia, the time was right to open in market,” said Haigh’s Chocolates Chief Executive, Peter Millard.

Ah, it really is an Easter miracle.
