Godiva CEO Nurtac Afridi said, "We have always been focused on what our consumers need and how they want to experience our brand," in a statement given at the time.
Godiva had a huge presence in the U.S., but even with no more stores, products can still be found at a variety of retailers like Target, Walgreens, and Right Aid.
