Word on the street is that Ghirardelli Chocolate Company is interested in taking over the space at 509 State Street, the current home of Pascucci, which is moving in early May to the Arts District at 1230-A State Street, the former home of Saigon. Ghirardelli is an American confectioner, wholly owned by Swiss confectioner Lindt & Sprüngli. The company was founded by and is named after Italian chocolatier Domenico Ghirardelli. The Ghirardelli Chocolate Company was incorporated in 1852, and is the third-oldest chocolate company in the US, after Baker’s Chocolate and Whitman’s. As always, this rumor might be completely false or a brilliant forecast of future events. Your call.
