La Maison du Chocolat plans to open a new kiosk at Dallas' NorthPark Center in time for the 2026 holiday season. The luxury brand will occupy Suite 400B on Level One, filling the space left by Kate Weiser Chocolate in mid-2026.
Why it matters
The arrival of the Parisian chocolatier marks an expansion of its U.S. retail footprint beyond its current locations in New York and Boston. It brings the brand's international presence, which spans cities from Tokyo to Hong Kong, directly to the Dallas market.
The company operates 33 international boutiques and seven existing U.S. locations. Its signature box of 24 assorted chocolates is priced at $89.
