The boutique located on level two in the Bloomingdale's wing features more than 85 varieties of fresh artisanal chocolate directly from Switzerland for chocolate lovers to enjoy through their five senses (sight, sound, touch, scent and taste). The boutique also includes a dedicated FrischSchoggi™ (fresh chocolate) counter, where shoppers can select multiple varieties of its iconic hand-broken chocolate bark. Because the company controls the entire production and distribution channel, Läderach's product freshness is second-to-none. World Chocolate Master – Elias Läderach leads production and innovation, and all chocolate is made from bean-to-bar in-house, finished by hand, and brought directly to its 100+ stores worldwide.
"At Läderach, we're passionately driven to create sweet moments of joy in everyday life by delivering the ultimate chocolate experience for oneself, gifting or sharing with others," said Nathanael Hausmann, president, Läderach North America.

"We are pleased to welcome Läderach to South Coast Plaza, just in time for the holiday season," said Debra Gunn Downing, Executive Director of Marketing for South Coast Plaza. "Through its premium artisanal fresh chocolate experiences, this new boutique offers our guests a deliciously memorable visit."
Läderach's commitment to expanding into brick-and-mortar retail continues to answer the call for the ever-growing demand for premium fresh chocolate.

Läderach's boutique at South Coast Plaza is the fifth location to open in California since August 2021.
Läderach's success and momentum to expand is only possible through the passionate drive of its diverse 1,300 employees, from over 50 countries who represent various backgrounds, beliefs and lifestyles. Mutual respect, diversity, inclusiveness and freedom of expression, and transparency are at the heart of Läderach amongst its employees to make the best chocolate possible.
