The Italian gourmet chocolate manufacturer Venchi has signed a lease for a new ChocoGelateria to open at The Westchester in White Plains.
The lease is part of a wider deal with the Simon Property Group that also includes Venchi ChocoGelaterias at the latter”™s malls in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, and in Boca Raton, Florida. All three Venchi stores are expected to open in the second half of the year.
“Venchi is incredibly excited to be partnering with Simon to expand our footprint in the United States in such prestigious retail locations,” said Mark Ellis, chief commercial officer of Venchi. “Simon is enabling Venchi to bring our boutiques to key cities which match the goals of our U.S. expansion plan by sharing Italian Allegria with consumers who may have experienced Venchi chocolate or Gelato on a visit to Italy or who are excited to sample our authentic Italian products.”
