The Chocolate Factory will open its eighth Milwaukee-area location at 4330 N. Oakland Ave. in Shorewood. According to Brian J. Vanevenhoven from NAI MLG Commercial, the sub and sundae shop will open in early July
The Chocolate Factory has covered the windows at the space that was most recently Thirst and Vine with a picture of a giant sub sandwich.
According to its web site, the restaurant's approach to food is "simple: fresh, local ingredients, prepared to the customer’s order and served without delay." Chocolate Factory bakes its own sub rolls and croissants, makes its own family recipe mayonnaise and its deli meats come from area suppliers.
The new Chocolate Factory also will mark a return for ice cream to Shorewood as it serves a variety of Blommer ice cream. The last ice cream store in the area, Baskin-Robbins 31 Flavors, closed in 2010.
The Chocolate Factory opened its first location in 1972 in Cedarburg.
