Ben’s Cookies to open first Northern store at Trafford Centre

Ben’s Cookies, known world-wide for their fresh-out-the-oven, handcrafted cookies are set to open their first Northern location at the Trafford Centre, this Valentine’s Day. (Wednesday 14th February)

Baking since 1983 in Oxford’s Covered Market, their approach to baking them hasn’t changed. Bringing 40 years of experience, each batch of dough is still lovingly mixed by hand in their kitchen just outside of Oxford.

Using CHUNKS, not chips, of delicious Belgian chocolate and the finest ingredients, Ben’s Cookies are individually rolled by hand and then freshly baked on-site in each of their 13 shops in the UK. They also have shops in several markets overseas, including the UAE, Singapore and Japan.

Classic favourites such as the Milk Chocolate Chunk or Double Chocolate Chunk are always a winner, but if you’re feeling a little more adventurous a Caramelised Crunch or White Chocolate & Cranberry will certainly excite the taste buds. With so many flavours to tempt you, you can pick to suit your mood!

This new location signifies their commitment to providing foodie enthusiasts in the North of England with access to their indulgent cookies, whilst offering an experience that showcases the artistry and craftsmanship that goes into creating each cookie that the people of Manchester will surely love.

About Ben’s Cookies

Baking since 1983, the brand’s origin story is as unique as their cookies, and what started as a small shop has grown into an international name.

Founder, cookery writer and chocoholic Helge Rubinstein opened the first Ben’s Cookies shop in Oxford’s Covered Market in 1984. This shop is still going strong today, and new shops are appearing in select locations in England and around the World.

Ben is the son of the founder, that’s him in the logo, drawn by Helge’s good friend and renowned illustrator Sir Quentin Blake.
