The Ghirardelli Chocolate Company was founded in San Francisco
in 1852 by Domingo Ghirardelli, the son of an Italian chocolate
maker. The Downtown Disney location (Gallery
Picture) which opened in December 1997 is the company's ninth
store, and it is located at the Downtown Disney Marketplace, between
World of Disney and Team Mickey.
Guests can purchase hand-scooped shakes, malts, ice cream sodas
and ice cream cones at the old-fashioned soda fountain. A chocolate
shop, next to the soda fountain, sells chocolates and gift packages,
such as chocolate-dipped spoons, decorative tins filled with chocolates,
truffles, and the Café Collection of chocolate and coffee beverages.
Ghirardelli's new Baby Premier Collection features smaller-sized
chocolate bars wrapped in bright colors. True choc-aholics will
want to try the Double Chocolate Mocha or Dark Chocolate with
Raspberries bars.
The store also does a roaring trade in 'mis-shapes' or broken
bars of chocolate. sold at a knock down price.
