Ice cream parlor and chocolatier Aglamesis Bro’s is offering fans a chance to live out their very own Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory dream (without the risks of dangerous chocolate rivers or becoming a giant blueberry) with its new Golden Ticket campaign.
Starting Oct. 28 — also National Chocolate Day — Aglamesis will release five half-pound chocolate assortment boxes with Golden Tickets hidden inside. If you find one of the Golden Tickets, you and up to five family members can go on a private, behind-the-scenes tour of Aglamesis’ West End chocolate production facility — Oompa Loompas and Everlasting Gobstoppers not included. You will also receive a curated Aglamesis gift basket.
“This campaign celebrates the whimsy and nostalgia that has always defined Aglamesis,” Randy Young, the local Willy Wonka and third-generation president of Aglamesis, said in a press release. “We want our guests to feel that same sense of excitement you get when you open a box of chocolates, not knowing what you might find inside.”
Aglamesis has invited a few local content creators to visit the production facility and place the Golden Tickets in boxes themselves. The official Golden Ticket boxes will be available in all three Aglamesis retail locations and be in circulation through December. Each ticket will come with instructions for winners to call in January and claim their prizes.
