Values & History
Peterbrooke Chocolatier has been hand-making delicious confections of all kinds since 1983, beginning when Phyllis Lockwood Geiger opened her own shop in Jacksonville, FL. The shop was named after her son and daughter, Peter and Brooke, and the brand's commitment to quality began immediately with Phyllis putting her fondness for chocolate and knowledge of the craft to work for local neighborhoods in search of quality chocolate treats. In 2007 Kevin and Jami Wray purchased the brand, now locally owning and operating the Orlando location, and spreading their commitment to quality across the nation with franchise opportunities under the Peterbrooke Chocolatier brand, with more than 20 shops currently in operation.
Industry Performance
The chocolate industry in the US is worth around $22 billion, with seasonal candy purchases accounting for over 21% of sales. As of 2014, the industry has seen an annual growth of 2.9% on average. Year-to-year growth for seasonal purchases averaged 8.5%, with confectionary stores and shops taking roughly 5% of all sales.
