An authentic French-style patisserie in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, UK, has selected QED ‘Avalon’ chilled display counters for its exclusive selection of cakes, crêpes, gateaux, baguettes and other snacks.
Mélice, which opened during the summer of 2014, is a new venture by specialist French baker, Bineta Sow and her family. They have brought their experience of delicious French cuisine and dedicated customer service to the Intu Potteries shopping mall in Hanley, close to Stoke city centre.

The QED ‘Avalon’ display counters were chosen for their classic French styling, with clean, straight glass, all-round vision, flexible temperature range and wood veneer cladding that perfectly complimented the Mélice corporate style. They are used both as serve-over counters and for striking window displays.
