An English woman got to relive her past life after her assisted living home set up a pop-up chocolate shop in her honor.
Doreen Bishop is a 93-year-old who currently lives at the Magdalen Park Care Home in East Yorkshire, England.
She spent 30 years working as a branch manager of Thorntons, a chocolate company, before retiring at age 65, SWNS reported.
Nearly 30 years later, Bishop was able to reclaim her role for a day when the assisted living home hosted a pop-up chocolate shop in its facility.
Bishop wore her Thorntons jacket and took her position on Feb. 25 behind the counter. There, she helped fellow residents pick out their sweet treats.

The spokesperson added that the employees decided to decorate the in-house store like a traditional Thorntons — and let Bishop slip back into her beloved role for the day.
