HARIBO UK Celebrates Successful Reopening of Transformed Clarks Village Store

New-look HARIBO Clarks Village store delights local shoppers.

14th July 2025, Somerset: Our HARIBO store at Clarks Village created even more moments of childlike happiness for local shoppers as it reopened its doors on 11th of July to a reimagined and redesigned store.

The reopening event, which took place on Friday 11th of July, featured live entertainment and performances, as well as giveaways for the first 50 customers. To keep the joy flowing, we also launched a series of new promotions for shoppers – including 20% off when you spend £20, more ways to ‘Pick Your Mix’, and a Lucky Dip prize giveaway featuring tickets to various Merlin attractions across the UK such as Alton Towers and Sealife.

The newly improved store now features digital screens to showcase the latest news and joy from HARIBO. Alongside this, shoppers can enjoy more exclusive international treats, gifts, merchandise, and our famous ‘Pick Your Mix’ station. On the last weekend of the month, our beloved Goldbear will also be visiting the store to see for himself how customers are enjoying the new and improved experience.

The Clarks Village refurbishment comes on the heels of a wave of exciting announcements from the HARIBO retail team, who opened their 11th store in Bluewater in February and also announced they will be opening HARIBO's first store in Scotland later this year. By investing in existing locations, such as Clarks Village, HARIBO is continuing to provide jobs in the local community, and bring moments of joy to Somerset's shoppers.

Reflecting on the successful reopening, Rebecca Fox, Head of Retail explained: "We were thrilled to see customers' delight and enjoyment as we welcomed them back into our newly transformed store. Inspired by HARIBO's more recent stores, we want to keep pushing ourselves to make more moments of childlike happiness for our fans in Somerset and increase our investment into our retail stores."

Guests to the outlet are in for a treat this summer thanks to a succession of store transformations such as HARIBO, new brands on the horizon, a stunning outdoor location with landscaped gardens plus our brand-new Art & Putt mini golf course launching this summer.”
