Canberrans can now experience the wonders of GODIVA, with the globally renowned Belgian chocolate brand opening its first Canberra location. Located in the Canberra Centre, GODIVA offers an extensive range of premium, hand-crafted Belgian chocolate, alongside delicious drinks and soft ice creams via GODIVA’s boutique experience.
Designed to enhance the customer’s experience, the GODIVA store in Canberra boasts a curated retail section. Shelves are filled with premium chocolates, cookies, and biscuits to entice visitors with a wide range of options. In addition, the store features a dedicated cafe section where patrons can savour the world-renowned soft ice cream and indulge in GODVIA’s rich, velvety hot chocolate.
GODIVA National Retail Manager Haley Koo says the brand aims to offer customers an unforgettable chocolate journey.
“The Canberra store provides a harmonious blend of retail and cafe elements, ensuring that each visitor finds something to delight their taste buds and elevate their senses, providing residents the opportunity to experience the full range of offerings at a GODIVA café for the first time,” Ms Koo said.
GODIVA is recognised globally for its exceptional range of products, with some gaining significant popularity across its stores. In particular, soft ice creams, luxury gift boxes, biscuits, cookies, and rich hot chocolate have consistently been among the top-selling items.
To celebrate the launch of the Canberra store, GODIVA has planned an array of events and activations throughout the year. From seasonal product launches to exclusive promotions, customers can expect exciting experiences and special offerings aligned with holidays and festivities.
“The choice to open our first GODIVA store in Canberra was driven by the city’s thriving retail scene and the demand for premium products. Canberra boasts a sophisticated food culture, and we are confident that our European chocolates will captivate the discerning palates of the local community,” Ms Koo said.
“We are so thrilled to bring the GODIVA experience to Canberra. Our passion for creating exceptional chocolates is matched only by our commitment to providing unparalleled customer service. We invite everyone to visit our new store, indulge in our delicious treats, and savour the essence of our European heritage.
Looking ahead, GODIVA has ambitious plans for Australian expansion. Over the next two years, the company aims to establish additional stores in major cities nationally while also focusing on enhancing its online presence. This multi-faceted approach will provide chocolate enthusiasts across Australia with convenient access to GODIVA’s renowned products.
