The Original Ghirardelli Chocolate Manufactory reopens after extensive two-month renovation SAN FRANCISCO (March 24, 2015)- Ghirardelli Chocolate Company, San Francisco’s premier chocolate manufacturer, invites San Francisco residents and visitors to enjoy a sundae and drip hot fudge on the new floors of the newly remodeled Original Ghirardelli Chocolate Manufactory at Ghirardelli Square (900 North Point Street, San Francisco 94109). Having first opened its doors in 1967, the Manufactory recently underwent an extensive two month renovation. Now, the shop has reopened, offering guests the original Ghirardelli experience with a fresh new look while keeping the same heritage look and feel that families have come to know. “For nearly 50 years, the Ghirardelli Chocolate Manufactory has provided unforgettable experiences for Bay Area residents and visitors alike,” says Marty Thompson, Ghirardelli President and CEO. “We are excited to have restored, repaired and remodeled a location that celebrates our history and the complete Ghirardelli experience.” More than 160 years of Ghirardelli heritage is celebrated at the Original Ghirardelli Chocolate Manufactory. The location holds the original manufactory equipment, which first came to Ghirardelli Square in 1893. The walls inside the shop are now lined with artwork and artifacts direct from Ghirardelli’s vaults, including original packaging from the 1800s through the early 1900s and rare photos from the 1915 Panama Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco. The displays have been carefully curated, telling the story of the Ghirardelli heritage and its impact in the City.
