Famous Chocolatier Leases AllianceTexas Distribution Center

Laderach Chocolatier Suisse, a family-owned premium Swiss chocolate company with North American headquarters in New York City, will occupy a 42,282-square-foot distribution center at AllianceTexas. The warehouse will distribute Läderach’s fresh chocolate to all retail stores in the United States.

In Texas, Läderach has three stores — in the Dallas metro area (Stonebriar Center) and Houston (The Galleria and Premium Outlets). To ensure the freshness and high quality of its chocolates, Läderach has complete control of the value chain — from directly sourcing the cacao to making the chocolate in-house in Switzerland and delivering it directly to its stores and customers.

“Premium products like chocolate have some of the highest speed-to-market demands in the food and beverage industry, and with the amenities of AllianceTexas’ unique multi-modal logistics platform, we continue to see rapid growth in an industry segment that has a long history within AllianceTexas,” said Hillwood’s Samuel Rhea, who handled the lease.

Läderach will occupy Alliance Northport 5 in Northlake, adjacent to Texas Motor Speedway.
