"My view is that China has a huge potential market, and we feel that we should allow Chinese consumers to feel the chocolate experience," said Mohamed Elsarky, international general manager at Godiva.

The Belgian chocolate brand opened a shop in Shanghai's Xintiandi entertainment complex in 2010 and began offering fancy, high-priced chocolate, pastries, ice cream and hotpot dishes in a garden villa setting. Since the brand came to China three years ago, 21 Godiva retail shops have opened in the country.
