Godiva Chocolatier

Last week, pladis was proud to share the magic of Godiva Chocolatier with the bustling streets of New York City, thanks to the brand’s beloved Pink Truck – a symbol of joy and giving dating back to World War Two.   In the aftermath of the war, master chocolatier Pierre Draps Jr. and his team painted GODIVA’s delivery trucks pink, spreading happiness (and chocolate!) to those who needed it. Decades later, the Pink Truck continues its legacy, bringing smiles wherever it goes.   This weekend, The Pink Truck continued its journey south to Tampa, Florida to support Metropolitan Ministries, a local charity helping families recover from Hurricane Milton. Families in need were treated to chocolate truffles and GODIVA extended a $25,000 donation to further support this critical community work.   #Onepladis #loveGODIVA #GODIVA #giving

🌟 Our new Godiva Chocolatier Café and store has officially opened its doors at the world’s second-largest mall, located in Dubai. This isn't just any café – it's a chocolate lover's dream, featuring the UAE’s first GODIVA chocolate fountain taps and a dessert bar! 🍫✨ To celebrate, we hosted a VIP event with GODIVA's Chef Chocolatier, Ilse Wilmots, and hosted by President, Steve Lesnard. Highlights included a handcrafted six-foot chocolate Burj Khalifa, an exclusive pistachio Kunafa truffle and a local artist creating bespoke designs on GODIVA Gold Box to mark the special occasion. 🎉 This exciting expansion, our 10th GODIVA Café and store in the country, underscores our commitment to the region’s growing demand for premium chocolate and our broader strategy for global retail growth for GODIVA.
