The shop will return to Corbett Court
A beloved chocolate shop is set to make its return to a Galway shopping centre after closing many years ago.
Leonidas Chocolate will be making a comeback having closed in 2022.
A sign was spotted in Corbett Court Shopping Centre announcing that it would be reopening.
The sign reads: “We’re back.
“Doors opening soon.”
There is no confirmed date for when it will return.
In November of 2022, they announced that they would be closing their doors.
Posting on social media at the time, they said: “Sadly and with heavy hearts….we have decided to close the Galway shop, as stocks are depleted, in the coming week.
Leonidas will reopen soon
“A massive THANK YOU to our many regular and valued customers for your support over the years.
“We wish you all the very best for the future.
“In grateful appreciation,
“The Leonidas Galway Team.”
