185Chocolat to Open Shop in Holiday Center

A gourmet chocolate shop is making its way to downtown Duluth.

185Chocolat will soon move into the Holiday Center and share space with How Sweet It Is Cakes.

“I’m ecstatic about working with How Sweet It Is. Our hand-made sweets complement each other and I admire what Eileen and her talented people do,” said 185Chocolat owner, Heidi Ash about moving operations.

This is the first time Ash will be selling products through a space of her own.

Ash started the chocolate-making business after she became the 185th recipient of a heart transplant at the Mayo Clinic in 2000.

185Chocolat will open sometime this month.
