We're very excited to announce that we're opening a seasonal store at The Bravern in Bellevue at the end of October. We'll be in suite 192, right next door to Wild Ginger, across from Vovito Cafe and down a few doors from Anthropologie. I highly recommend stopping by for chocolate after you've enjoyed the happy hours at Wild Ginger and John Howie Steakhouse.
We can't provide a specific date yet, but it will be towards the end of October. We'll know more once the cabinet maker finishes fabricating our shelves and we start to stock the store with chocolate. Watch our Twitter account (@chocolopolis) for updates on the build-out with photos. We'll announce the date there.
Below is the official press release. I hope we'll see you there!
Happy chocolate eating,
Lauren
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Chocolopolis Opens Seasonal Store at The Shops at The Bravern
BELLEVUE, WASH. (September 29, 2010) – Since July 2008, Chocolopolis has been satisfying chocolate cravings and educating Seattle about fine artisan chocolate. In October, they will expand their operations to the east side of Lake Washington to open their second store at The Shops at The Bravern.
Located adjacent to Wild Ginger, Chocolopolis will treat guests to a world of chocolate they may not have known before. Chocolopolis is dedicated to helping customers discover the world of fine artisan chocolate through their selection of over 200 bars of chocolate from more than 20 countries, one of the largest selections of chocolate in the country. Much like a wine store, their chocolate bars are arranged by the geographic origin of the cacao. They also offer truffles and other wonderful chocolate creations from world-renowned chocolatiers. For those interested in learning more through tasting, they invite guests to come in and discover the world of chocolate at their free chocolate happy hours, featuring rotating samples from an array of cacao origins and chocolate makers.
“We are very excited to be a part of The Bravern because of the wonderful community they’ve created. It’s not just a shopping center, it’s a center of business and technology, a place to live, a spot for fine dining and the best address for fashion in the region”, says Chocolopolis founder Lauren Adler. “The Bravern is the perfect location for us to introduce the world’s finest artisan chocolate makers and chocolatiers to the Eastside. We also know that our existing Eastside customers will be thrilled that Chocolopolis will be so conveniently located on their side of the lake.”
