Venchi, an Italian gourmet chocolate manufacturer founded by chocolatier Silviano Venchi, is getting ready to expand its presence throughout California, including several sites planned for Southern California. Currently, the company only has two locations in the Golden State, with sites in Westfield Valley Fair and UTC San Diego. This is about to change, as Venchi USA plans at least three new locations in California, including two in Los Angeles.

A representative from the company tells What Now Los Angeles that Venchi will start by opening a new location in Glendale at the Americana at Brand, opening in late July at 889 Americana Way. After this, the company will open another site in Los Angeles, with a new location opening in Century City in October. Finally, in December, Venchi will open a fifth California site in South Coast Plaza.
