One Darrell Lea store to serve Canberra

Aww what’s with all the Darrell Lea hate? I have fond memories of their giant lollypops and those little Bo Peep jars of lollies as a kid! They were great! I bought some nice Valentine’s Day goodies in there this year.

It’s interesting though. Perhaps this public antipathy is the core of their problems. They have failed to keep pace with the times and competitors have moved in to occupy that place in our psyches that they used to hold.

Me, I used to live down the road from their factory in Melbourne and just walking past the shps remind me of chocolate laden air

Not really a fan or gourmet lollies, so this won’t make much difference to my life.

A few people will need to find new jobs, which is a pain.

My issue with Darrell Lea has always been that they are not Haigh’s.

Haigh’s is better capitalised, but still in trouble. Buy those souvenirs while you still can.

Darrell Lea sell chocolate? I’m not sure I’ve ever bought anything but their licorice – and I’d be sad if that wasn’t available any more.

Hopefully the former customers will now spend their money on fruit and vegetables and do a bit of exercise.

Well that leaves us with one more than we need…
