Our small artisanal chocolate shop opened its doors in Lauzon on the south shore of Quebec. Initially, we primarily produced chocolates for the Easter season, but our artisans quickly began developing more and more products, drawing inspiration from European expertise and adapting it to local tastes. From chocolate makers, we evolved into master chocolatiers and a recognized leader in the chocolate industry.
Chocolats Favoris moves to Bégin Street in Lévis and launches a revolutionary and exclusive product: ice cream dipped in real chocolate! Chocolats Favoris and its secret chocolate recipe become a summer delight staple, attracting people from all over the region.
Chocolats Favoris expands in the city of Quebec with a new chocolate shop in the historic Trait-Carré area of Charlesbourg in 2006, followed by another in Old Cap-Rouge in 2011.
Chocolats Favoris announces its ambitious project to consolidate all its activities into one location, the Chocolats Favoris Factory, to increase production capacity and meet growing demand. This new, modern, and magical facility will be the first strategic milestone in the international expansion of the Lévis-based company.
Chocolats Favoris opens its very first chocolate shop outside of Quebec, in Orléans in the Ottawa region. A few months later, Victoria on Vancouver Island also welcomes its own Chocolats Favoris.
Chocolats Favoris launches its brand-new collection of Kooky cones. Our master chocolatiers have revolutionized the world of cones by developing a delicious and spectacular recipe for each of your favorite choclate flavours! Are you more Classic or Kooky?
Chocolats Favoris launches the famous ChocoFav Poutine. Dessert fries in the style of churros and mini marshmallows on a bed of soft serve ice cream, all topped with your favorite flavour of our legendary chocolate!
Chocolats Favoris chooses sustainably and fairly sourced cocoa as the raw material for all the products we make!
After establishing 6 corporate chocolate shops outside of Quebec to expand the brand across the country, Chocolats Favoris shifted to a franchise model and sold all of its chocolate shops to new local franchisees who are engaged in their communities and trusted the brand. Among them, our employee Heather decides to take the leap and purchase the branch she has managed for several years.
Get ready to write the next chapter of this delicious chocolate tradition, a sweet adventure that has been thriving since 1979, and this is just the beginning.
