Rochester’s Chocolate Shop Rises with Community Support | Rochester News

Rochester’s Laughing Gull Chocolates is turning heads—and hearts—with a Kickstarter campaign to transform its beloved shop into a community hub. Owner Lindsay Tarnoff, who launched the chocolate haven in 2018, is raising $12,500 to install ramps, expand seating, and paint a vibrant mural—making the space more accessible and inviting. With over $10,000 already pledged in just ten days, locals are rallying behind this sweet spot. The shop even shut down briefly to prep for the upgrades, aiming to wrap everything up by October. It’s not just about chocolate—it’s about building a place where everyone feels welcome, one bite at a time. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
