Fine food retailer the East India Company is
set to open in Bluewater on Monday, October 7.
The brand opened its first UK store in London’s
Mayfair in 2010, selling products which have become quintessentially British.
The new 450 sq ft store will stock fine teas
and coffees, biscuits, chocolate, nuts, jams, marmalades and mustards.
When the company was given a royal charter in
1600, merchants would sail from London and pass Bluewater’s base at Greenhithe
on their way to the East, before returning with herbs and spices, teas,
coffees, chocolates and fruits.
Vice president of operations Manan Bhansali
said: “Bluewater is a wonderful shopping destination and we are looking forward
to sharing our high quality teas, coffees and fine foods with customers.
“We felt drawn to this location for our first
store opening outside of London because of the deep connection that Kent has
with our history.”
