Venchi Fine Italian Chocolates will open a chocolate and gelato shop at Tysons Corner Center in Fairfax County, Virginia. The store will be located on the second level of the shopping mall near Macy’s, and opens this summer.
Venchi has been around for more than 140 years. It was founded in 1878 by Silviano Venchi, a 20-year-old from Turin. According to the company, Venchi spent his life savings on two bronze cauldrons to experiment with chocolate.
