Chocolate and Mother are two words that are almost always associated with love. So it’s no wonder that Mother’s Day is one of the major holidays of the year for Chocolates by Grimaldi.
“We love that our chocolates have become synonymous with Mother’s Day and bringing families together,” said Molli Laham, Co-Owner and Operator of Chocolates by Grimaldi in Grand Haven. “In addition to the many timeless favorites we offer, our creative classes allow families to share a creative activity and create memories with their Mom that will last a lifetime!”
This year, in celebration of Mother’s Day, readers are invited to share their favorite Chocolates by Grimaldi Mother’s Day stories — submit your photos and/or stories via e-mail:
Chipster@ChocolatesByGrimaldi.com. The stories will be shared on social media around Mother’s Day, and those that are the most popular will win chocolate, of course! First place will receive a one-pound assortment from mix & match chocolates, second place will receive one-half a pound, and third place will receive a 1/4 pound.
Make some chocolate memories with your Mom with Grimaldi’s Creative Chocolate Classes and tours. The 90-minute Creative Chocolate Class allows participants to paint and create their own chocolate bar while socializing with friends and loved ones. Call 616.935.7740 for more information. Chocolates by Grimaldi can accommodate up to 24 participants per class, and private classes are available for groups of 12 or more. You can also schedule a private chocolate-making class for a bachelorette party or a shower.
The $4 factory tours are perfect for the young and young-at-heart, and provide guests with the opportunity to taste fresh samples right off the line. You’ll learn about the chocolate-making process from pod to bean to delicious chocolate. Visitors will also get a close-up view of the vintage 1950s enrober that’s just like the one used on I Love Lucy. Large groups and special times can be accommodated. To ensure everyone receives the best tour, call 616.935.7740 to schedule your tour in advance.
But wait, there’s more! Grimaldi’s offers Team Building Events that will force you out of your comfort zone. Designed to identify individual strengths and weakness and see who works well together, these events challenge team members to rally together to design and create a chocolate-themed design.
Chocolates by Grimaldi shuts down production and provides team members with access to their kitchen for $75 per person. In addition to the team-building experience, each participant will take home an assortment of Chocolates by Grimaldi’s best sellers. A minimum of 10 and a maximum of 40 participants are required. All of the Team Building Classes are private.
Other delightful offers await. Chocolate by Grimaldi is located at 219 N. 7th Street in Grand Haven’s Center Town. For more information, visit the website here.
