Residents will not need to head to their favorite vacation destination to watch a fresh batch of fudge being hand-paddled at the candy shop.
That’s because Kilwins Chocolate and Ice Cream shop, usually found in vacation spots like Florida, is now open on East Ridgewood Avenue. The July 12 soft opening was anything but soft.
“Some have a surprised look when they come into the store, like they’ve been here before,” said Mary Davis, who is co-owner and franchisee of Kilwins with her husband, Philip. “We had people congregating in the front window, especially kids who glue their faces to our storefront window to watch fudge being made.”
Kilwins, founded in Michigan in 1947, is broadening its reach to suburban ‘urban’ areas. This is the second Kilwins to open in New Jersey.
“Everyone walks out of Kilwins with a smile,” said Philip Davis. “We have fudge, chocolate and ice cream. What better experience can you have?”
