September 13, 2006: Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Company is Opens in Edwardsville, Illinois. 

Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Company celebrates the opening of its 13^th store in Edwardsville, Illinois on September 12^th, 2006.  Its Edwardsville location is unique because not only is it inside the Edwardsivlle Dierbergs Supermarket but it also has a candy kitchen inside the grocery store so customers can see chocolate being made while checking out.  Although most of the Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Company franchise stores are located inside Dierbergs shopping centers, this is the second store that is actually inside Dierbergs. 

Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Company, founded in 1981 in Saint Louis, Missouri has expanded from the original Chippewa location to now its 13^th store in Edwardsville.  It will also open a 14^th location in Wentzville later in the fall, creating a 100 mile radius of all of its stores.  This means that nearly everyone in the greater St. Louis area is only a short drive from picking up their favorite chocolates.  Specialty items include fresh Chocolate Covered Strawberries, Heavenly Hash, Molasses Puff, Boxed Chocolates, Premium Truffles and hundreds of Chocolate Molded Items all made fresh daily. 

ABOUT CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE COMPANY:

Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Company began manufacturing premium hand made chocolates in 1981.  Prior to the company's opening, founder Dan Abel spent over a decade training with the finest candy makers in the world.  His apprenticeship taught him everything there is to know about making premium chocolates in small batches.  Some of the recipes used today come from old time candy makers dating back to 1904. 

The original candy kitchen is still in operation today at the headquarters in St. Louis, Missouri.  Although the company has grown from one location to over a dozen retail stores, the same time honored methods of old fashioned candy making are still in place.  Copper kettles mix the creamy centers that are then cut by hand after sitting on a chilling table.  The centers are then enrobed by our meticulous candy makers, who inspect each piece before it leaves the candy kitchen.  Most importantly, the chocolates consumed by customers are usually made the day they were purchased.  There is nothing like a piece of chocolate the day it was made.
