Max Brenner set to open in city

TOOWOOMBA chocolate lovers, it appears your prayers have been answered.

A Max Brenner chocolate bar is coming to Toowoomba.

With chocolate cafes dotted all around Australia, it is about time Max Brenner looked at the Garden City for its next location.

Max Brenner is well known for its decadent desserts including waffles, creamy fondue, chocolate pizza and its signature thick hot chocolate.

General manager Yael Kaminski said she was thrilled to be opening doors to the chocoholics of Toowoomba for the first time.

“Toowoomba has been on our radar for a long time now with many requests for a chocolate bar coming through on our social platforms,” she said.

“It’s long overdue and will be the perfect home for Max’s delicious chocolate creations. We want to share our unique chocolate culture with as many chocolate-lovers as possible and we hope it’ll be something they remember for a long time to come.”

Earlier this year a young woman launched a campaign to get the chocolate bar to open in town.

The Chronicle shared Karissa Gesler’s hilarious messages on Facebook, asking residents their thoughts on Max Brenner.

Clearly Toowoomba residents love their chocolate, with more than 570 likes and hundreds of comments on the post.

Ms Gesler threatened to eat only salad unless it opened in Toowoomba.

Max Brenner responded in wonderful fashion. The team’s response read:

“Everyone knows salad is good for you but did you know chocolate comes from cocoa, a plant, so that makes it a salad?”

“We definitely think chocolate and a great sense of humour is a winning combination and we would love to send you out a care package to keep you going until, one day, we open a chocolate bar in Toowoomba!”

It appears “one day” has come a lot sooner than we had imagined.

The Chronicle is seeking comment from Max Brenner about the location and opening date.
