Durham’s Streets at Southpoint just got a little sweeter. A chocolate shop has opened its very first North Carolina location at the popular Southpoint mall, marking a delicious milestone for the Bull City’s growing retail scene.

The opening adds yet another reason for residents and visitors to make their way to one of the Triangle’s most beloved shopping destinations. Specialty chocolate shops bring a sense of artisan indulgence to a mall experience, and this debut location means Durham shoppers no longer have to travel out of state to enjoy what the brand has to offer.

The timing couldn’t be better. Durham’s tourism industry is riding high after reaching a record $1.17 billion in visitor spending in 2025, according to ABC11 News. That milestone reflects just how much momentum the city has built as a destination for food, culture, and entertainment — and a first-of-its-kind chocolate shop fits right into that story.

Southpoint has long served as an anchor for the southern part of Durham, drawing shoppers from across the Triangle. New openings like this one signal continued confidence in Durham as a place where businesses want to plant their flag and grow. For locals, it means more variety, more jobs, and more reasons to celebrate everything that makes Durham a vibrant, exciting place to call home.

Whether you’re a lifelong chocolate lover or simply looking for a sweet treat on your next shopping trip, Durham’s newest confectionery destination at Southpoint is ready to welcome you in.
