Just got this email from Golden Eye Chocolates:
To our family in Austin and beyond,
As cherished members of our community, we wanted to share a bit about upcoming changes here at Golden Eye Chocolates. As you may know, the chocolate industry worldwide has had significant troubles over the last two years. Severe floods and droughts in key countries that produce over 50% of the world’s chocolate have led to a significant loss of cacao crops and substantial price increases. This coupled with unforeseen delays in our kitchen construction has proven to be too costly for us to continue the business as it exists. We will be closing both our North and South Locations in the coming months.
Our last full service day at our Anderson retail Location will be Saturday May 31st, and the last day to pickup curbside orders at our south kitchen will be Friday June 20th. The last day to place a shipping order on our website will be this Tuesday May 6th. We may stay open at our Anderson location in a limited capacity while we wrap up some loose ends.
We are actively looking for a new kitchen location and working on restructuring our business but many uncertainties lie ahead. We could use some love.
