CHOCOLATE lovers will now be able to enjoy their favourite chocolate bar in a different way thanks to a new milkshake shop in Malton.

Moobies, on Newbiggin, will offer over 40 different flavours of milkshakes from the regular to the more bizarre and will even turn some of your favourite chocolate bar in to a shake.

Owner Matt Counsell said that he is excited to be able to offer something new in Malton.

He said: “We have over 40 flavours and you can pick a chocolate bar and put it into a milkshake. We have Aero, Skittles and marshmallows for example.

“Malton is such an up and coming foodie place and there is nothing in particular for teenagers and for kids so we thought of doing a milkshake shop.”

For Matt, who works in market research, this is his first move in to retail but his wife, Thalia, has plenty of business experience running Dapper Dogs in Finkle Street, Malton.

Together, the couple have spent the past five weeks finalising the details and perfecting the interior before they opened for two recent trial weekends which Matt said have proved to be very popular.

He said: “We opened for two trail weekends and it has done very well, we have had quite a few people in.

“We also had a giant bubble machine blowing bubbles down the street which I think encouraged some people to come and have a look.”

Moobies will also stock ice cream from Licc Ice Cream, in York, and Matt said that the couple will also be making seasonal milkshakes including winter warmers, scream eggs for Halloween and even mince pie milkshakes at Christmas.

Moobies is open on Saturday from 11am-6pm and on Sunday from 12-4pm. Midweek opening hours will be announced soon.
