THE CHOCOLATE APPETITE STORY
STORY TIMELINE
THE CHOCOLATE APPETITE STORY
In 2008, Dante & Gaby Company set the stage for Chocolate Appetite, a venture that dazzled taste buds for two sweet years.
Despite the undeniable success of their chocolate enterprise, the duo found the juggling act of business ownership increasingly complex with the responsibilities of raising two children, one of whom was immersed in national-level swimming competitions, traversing states regularly.
​
In a pivotal moment, they opted to close the chapter on Chocolate Appetite, embarking on a self-investment journey. The year 2015 witnessed the dawn of "The Dreaming Show," a pioneering business designed to elevate fellow entrepreneurs in the marketplace. This dynamic enterprise offered a spectrum of services, including mentoring, interviews, workshops, and film production for business owners.
As the years unfolded, the call of the chocolate business persisted. Dante Junior, their elder son, championed the idea, recognizing the potential for Chocolate Appetite to be a valuable asset for the family. Friends, loyal customers, and relatives voiced their longing for the exquisite chocolates, urging Dante and Gaby to revive the chocolate haven.
Amidst the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the family decided to resurrect Chocolate Appetite. In a period marked by collective struggle, a bit of chocolate proved to be a source of joy for many. Navigating supply chain hurdles during restrictions was no small feat, but their resilience prevailed, emerging successfully from the adversity.
​
This revival during the pandemic not only signifies the return of a beloved chocolate haven but also underscores the profound impact a small indulgence can have on bringing smiles and joy, even in the face of unprecedented challenges.
