Haribo is one of the fastest-growing retailers in the UK, according to new data shared with Retail Week.
The confectionery brand outpaced the likes of Abercrombie & Fitch and Chatlotte Tilbury, according to new transactional spend data collected for Retail Week by CACI.
Haribo recorded a 56% increase in transaction spend during full-year 2024, as the classic sweets brand invested in more experiential gifting and pick-and-mix stores in various locations around the UK.
Haribo was among several retailers in the ranking that have stepped up their physical store presence in the UK over the last year or so, such as Sostrene Grene, Alo Yoga and Sephora.
Haribo head of retail Rebecca Fox told Retail Week: “We’ve been delighted with Haribo UK’s continued success over the last year.”
“We’ve recently celebrated some fantastic achievements with our retail stores, which have gone from strength to strength since our first store in 2018, and we are now boasting 11 locations around the country.
“In February, we opened the doors of our newest store at Kent’s Bluewater Shopping Centre to a queue of hundreds of fans. They were greeted by the iconic Goldbear and a “Pick Your Mix” station featuring no less than 60 different sweets. We’ve recently announced our next store, coming soon to Glasgow’s Silverburn Shopping Centre. It will be our first store in Scotland, something we’ve wanted to do for a while, and we can’t wait to welcome Scottish Haribo lovers to the store later this year.”
