Hilliards Chocolate Now Open in Mansfield

The following is a news release.

A leading maker of fine chocolates and specialty candies south of Boston has come to Mansfield. Hilliards Chocolates opened their newest retail location last week at Mansfield Pavilion, across from Mansfield Crossing.

With the opening of the 2000 square foot store, Hilliards continues its strong growth, and now has a retail location near the Rte. 95/Rte. 495 nexus, along with its stores in Easton (Rte. 138) and Hanover (Rte. 123).

Hilliards Chocolates also operates a thriving web and phone business that ships throughout the continental 48 states.

“This is so exciting and we are gratified to have this store up and running amid the excitement and spirit of the holiday season,” said Judy (Hilliard) McCarthy, co-owner, with her husband, Charlie, of Hilliards Chocolates. “We have been fortunate to have such a devoted and loyal following, and we hope that our store in Mansfield will play a strong role in introducing our confections to, and serving, more people.”

Hilliards Chocolates is family owned and in its fourth generation, going back to the early 1900s.

Launching the Hilliards Chocolates store in Mansfield is a component of a strategic organizational shift for the company, which included rebranding from the name Hilliards House of Candy, and closing a store in Canton to dedicate focus to the rapidly growing commercial area in which Mansfield Pavilion is the locus.

Charlie McCarthy said, “Judy and I have been fortunate and worked hard, and opening the Mansfield store continues what has been for us a wonderful and most gratifying and rewarding experience. And our family fully recognizes and appreciates that our success is made by possible by our dedicated employees and our customers.”
