Chocolate Apothecary Franchise

It all started in 2005 when Susan Davis got home to a house being remodelled. She wanted to get away and comfort herself with chocolate. She envisioned a place that has all kinds of chocolates, the aroma, and the ambiance.

The following day, she talked about it with her classmates. Then the concept was born.  Susan Davis is a pharmacy student and they thought of chocolate as the best kind of medicine anyone could possibly find. They opened their first store in Spokane, Washington. They said that they wanted to share the joy with everyone that’s why they started franchising in 2007. Apothecary was derived from olden pharmacists who were called Apothecaries. They say that they are prescribing chocolate as a medicine to cure anything and anyone’s ailments. Chocolate Apothecary also offers chocolate tasting classes in Spokane. It lasts for about an hour and costs $15.

What’s on the menu? They have gourmet chocolates, gelato, and coffee. Their chocolates include Alpaco, Abinao, Tanariva Lait, Jivari Lait, Manjari, Tainori, Caraibe, and Guanaja and all of which are by Valrhona Chocolates.
