The store also features a dedicated FrischSchoggi™ (fresh chocolate) counter where consumers can select from over 20 varieties of its signature hand-cut chocolate bark.

In addition, there is an entire counter devoted to its unique praline and MiniMousses collections, as well as a self-serve, wrapped-chocolate carousel for ChocoBijoux, among many other chocolate varieties and seasonal collections.

All chocolate featured is freshly made from bean-to-bar and shipped directly to the store.

Johannes Läderach, CEO, Läderach-chocolatier suisse said,

We make fresh, artisanal chocolate from Switzerland, and our first store in New York and e-commerce performance proves that there is demand for our unique chocolate experience.

We are excited to meet the growing premium chocolate demand in the US through this expansion.

Läderach claims “The secret of their success,” with the expansion into 15 countries lies in their culture of trust in local management and teams, where they have around 1,000 employees.
