Plainview, NY Sabre Real Estate Group LLC has arranged a lease for Chocolate Works. Sabre, Chocolate Works’ exclusive broker for its franchised expansion throughout the NY metropolitan area, arranged a lease for 1,444 s/f in the Plainview Shopping Center at 371 South Oyster Bay Rd.
Melissa Naeder, a director at Sabre, represented the tenant in the transaction while Etan Shalem of Welco Realty Inc. represented The Real Estate Equity Co.
This is Chocolate Work’s seventh location on Long Island. Other units are in Bellmore, Commack, Garden City, Manhasset, Rockville Centre and Stony Brook.
A spinoff of the decades-old 5th Avenue Chocolatiere, Chocolate Works has been a huge success since it opened in 2012 on Manhattan’s Upper West Side.
In addition to its extensive collection of chocolates, including its signature 5th Avenue Truffle and such eclectic offerings as chocolate martini olives and chili-infused chocolate nibs, Chocolate Works stores are stocked with bulk bins of classic candies and also offer children’s parties and workshops for children and adults. The chocolate is made on premises and children are able to enjoy an interactive experience and become “chocolatier for the day” through on site workshops or parties.
Chocolate Works plans to open several hundred stores across the metropolitan region over the next several years. Sabre is seeking locations of 1,800 to 2,500 square feet in prime neighborhoods for the retailer.
