Grand Opening: Get Your Chocolate On, Montclair

Who needs Willy Wonka?

Chocolate Works – a new “interactive chocolate factory experience” in Montclair - is celebrating its grand opening with an all-day celebration on Saturday, June 6, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The store will “combine the magic of a chocolate and candy store,” according to a release.

The event will include live entertainment, including face painting, animal balloons and music. Signature truffles and dips in their six-foot chocolate fountain will be free all day long.

“Local residents should check their mail during the week of June 1st for our ‘golden tickets’ to potentially win big prizes such as free parties, chocolate, gift cards - and an Apple watch for our grand prize winner,” stated Chocolate Works owner Marcia Lemberg. “Golden tickets will also be given out at our store with every purchase between June 1 and June 5.”

Hours of operation for the store’s new Montclair location are Monday through Thursday, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The store is a lessee at The Siena at Montclair, a mixed-use community at 42 S. Park St.
