La Rousse Foods will open a chocolate outlet, called Cocoa Atelier, at 30 Drury Street in Dublin 2 on Monday 28th June.

This will be La Rousse's first venture into retailing and all chocolates sold will be manufactured to the highest spec at La Rousse's head office in Park
West, Dublin 22. According to the General Manager, Stuart Campbell, the chocolates sold in this outlet will be different to other chocolates sold in the
Irish market and La Rousse have used Parisien experts to develop this range.

La Rousse Foods is a Channel Partner on the IEA's Channel Clusters Programme.  The participants on the programme got to sample some of the chocolates last November at the Meet the Buyer day in Clondalkin.
