The Switzerland-based chocolate company will take over the leases of 34 Godiva locations across the United States.
The 34 locations will be announced soon and are expected to open by the end of Summer 2021, if not sooner. The news comes following Godiva announcing that it will close or sell its 128 brick-and-mortar locations in North America to focus on its online operations.
Johannes Läderach, Chief Executive Officer at Läderach Group, commented: “After our successful and encouraging U.S. market entry with four stores in the Northeast and excellent nationwide e-commerce demand, these new stores are the perfect opportunity to share the joy of fresh chocolate from Switzerland with chocolate lovers from coast to coast.”
At the end of last year, Läderach opened its 100th store (and second store in Manhattan). The store is located on New York’s iconic Fifth Avenue and occupies an area of 2,500sq ft.
