Godiva Ice Cream

russotto · 03-18-2005, 01:01 PM

Genaurdi's (Safeway) and Acme (Albertsons) in my area both have Godiva belgian chocolate. So does Clemens. No one has choc/choc hearts, not even Shop-Rite (they had vanilla/choc caramel hearts).

When the stores had it, it was just a few and not for long, which leads me to believe that they stopped stocking it because it didn't sell many because they weren't stocking many.

Godiva website only lists the Godiva ice cream boutiques for any zip code.
ccpanel, did you try emailing Godiva? Can't hurt. I noticed that when I Googled Godiva ice cream this thread comes up on the first page. Is that how you found us? Welcome to the Cellar however you got here.

After dessert stick around for the floorshow.

I have discovered the culprit, at least on the East Coast. It is, as I suspected, a distributor issue. The local stores all get Godiva ice cream through the company formerly known as Richfood, and they don't carry that flavor.

Ironically, the company which now owns Richfood is a client of the company I work at. This does not mean I have any influence whatsoever, unless I care to go directly into their production datab...err, no, that would be wrong. And more to the point probably wouldn't work and would get me fired if caught. Oh well.
