Won't have the Hershey name, but I've been told it will look something like this, but "steampunk":

I am just wondering if this will be a Universal operation or if they are going to bring in someone like Max Brenner?

How many venues remain that are not operated by UOR?

Edit: To be specific, dining venues.

I see this thread is a little slow... i haven't followed up on it in a long time i'm excited for the chocolate idea and even more so that it is likely to be a Universal concept rather than a franchise type location. For those who don't like chocolate.. i am pretty sure they will cater to you in more ways than one. I certainly welcome this concept over NBA any day.. i truly disliked the NBA restaurant except for the arcade.

Many many many of the small hand dipped chocolate shops in the USA use HERSHEY chocolate. They don't advertise it, but they do use it. And I was told years ago that it is quite a fine product compared with all the chocolate manufacturers of the world.

I wouldn't be surprised if Universal does the same. Not sure if that San Fran company could support them with base product.

How about Dove chocolate? It's a competitor to Hershey and i guess the main quesiton is... is Hershey viewed as a competitor to Universal in anyway being that they own and operate a theme park(s)?


i would honestly take either or don't really care it is an AWESOME idea

I would mostly love if they had some type of take out window or walk up window. Perhaps providing some quick to go dessert.

It will either be Hershey or Ghirardelli unless Universal wants to go all in and start roasting cocoa beans in house (take that NBCSports Grill Brew).

Disney did a similar thing with a coffee shop in DCA, where they roasted their own coffee beans. See, Disney knows people love the smell of coffee so they thought what better way to fill DCA's entrance corridor with the smell of coffee than roasting some beans? Well, the smell of coffee that people's mouths water over is the smell of "BREWED" coffee. Not the smell of roasting coffee beans. Which is pretty awful. Sort of a burnt popcorn smell.

Can confirm. There is a big name coffee plant where I work downtown. Smells like burnt toast every time I go outside. I bet @hatetofly knows what I'm talking about.

They could always pipe in the "brewed" smell and no one would no the difference.

I don't know. Ghirardelli is used a lot on Disney properties. I think whatever they use, you won't be told the brand.

Agreed. I just don't see them saying the name since they want it to be a unique Uni place.

There is a prominent sign, yes, but it isn't actually sold.
