A review of Thorntons chocolate shop in the Spindles Shopping Centre in Oldham.
The store is located inside the Spindles centre opposite WHSmiths and next to Boots. It's quite a small shop but is packed with all the chocolate treats you'll ever need. They have plenty of wrapped boxes of chocolates available in different sizes and types including the ever popular continental chocolates. They have fudge and toffee gift packs too, lots of seasonal gifts too with some in the display cabinet showing off the personalisation available. Getting something iced at Thorntons with a name is fun! It's free and means your gift instantly becomes more personal.
The counter contains a display of chocolates you can hand pick or buy ready packed bags of. The chocolates are all delicious and the staff are very helpful. If you need help picking out a present they are really good at making great suggestions!
If you're after some great chocolates for yourself or for a gift it's well worth a stop off at the Thorntons shop!
