In addition to this celebration in Las Vegas, Ghirardelli is expanding its reach with a newly opened location next to the Empire State Building in New York City, which will officially open its doors on August 6. This location aims to capitalize on high foot traffic, with around 4 million visitors to the Empire State Building each year.
Grand Opening Events in New York
The grand opening of the New York shop will feature a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by Ghirardelli CEO Joel Burrows and renowned celebrity Mary J. Blige. The first 102 attendees in line that day will receive a free Ghirardelli World Famous Hot Fudge Sundae. On this opening day, Mini Hot Fudge Sundaes will be available for just $5 from 2 PM to 6 PM.
At the New York store, customers will discover a menu that includes 13 specialty sundaes, such as the Caramel Waffle Cone Sundae and other traditional favorites. Designed to reflect Ghirardelli’s rich San Francisco legacy, the 2,758-square-foot store will feature textural details like a classic marquee sign and a hot fudge kettle, while a Pick & Mix area allows customers to customize their chocolate square selections.
Engaging the New York Market
Ghirardelli’s expansion in New York marks a strategic move as the company aims to grow its brand within a significant market known for its high foot traffic. This new establishment will not only serve ice cream lovers but also seeks to forge partnerships with locations like the Empire State Building to enhance its visibility and appeal.
While there are many chocolate shops throughout New York City, Ghirardelli aims to stand out with its premium offerings, particularly its famous hot fudge sundaes that have earned a loyal customer base. However, some reviews on platforms such as Yelp indicate that some customers may find prices for larger sundae sizes to be higher than expected. Still, the company maintains that it prioritizes quality and freshness in all its products.
