    Godiva will keep its stores open across Europe, Middle East and Greater China.

    No. They have a stronger market overseas than in the US at this time.

    They are not "moving".
    They are simply leaving North America retail brick and mortar outlets .

    I love Godiva . Especially the dark chocolate raspberry !
