Hancocks, the UKs leading confectionery wholesaler, has announced its first in-store and online Sweetest Day event for 2025.
The events, which have been running for three years, offer depot and online customers outstanding one day deals and a chance to find out about the newest product launches.
The first event for 2025 will be taking place on March 6 from 8am to 8pm at all the 14 depots dotted across the UK, with deals available both in-store and online.
