A handmade chocolate shop, which was located in The Colonnade, will be reopening this summer.

Little Bean made its debut in August 2025 and quickly became a favourite shopping destination for many local people.

Unfortunately, the store had to close in December due to illness.

It has now been announced that the shop will be holding its grand reopening on Saturday 6 June from 10am.

As well as chocolates, made by chocolatier Vic Williams, Little Bean will now be selling Snugbury ice cream from its very own sit-in ice cream parlour.

There is also a new delicatessen stocking produce from Griffins in Stone and The Staffordshire Cheesemaker.

A range of quirky gifts will be for sale and as well as a chocolate fountain for customers to enjoy.

Little Bean said: "We built up a loyal following of lovely customers last year who have been so supportive and we can't wait to invite them, and the rest of Stafford back again!
