Franchising
Belvedere Belgian Chocolate Shop®

There is no doubt that a quality product will last and that's no different when it comes to chocolate. The benefits of chocolate have been underlined in the media frequently. In other words, when people want to treat themselves, chocolate makes a better option.

The Belvedere Belgian Style Chocolates®, our signature product has been selected multiple times as the best.
Imagine your shop where customers fill their box from a stylish display case filled with a selection of more than 70 different ones... a truly unique shopping experience in the classy, old-fashioned setting of a Belvedere Belgian Chocolate Shop®.

      

Unlike other chocolatiers, we offer pralines & truffles in 6 different types of chocolate plus a whole range of chocolate figurines, all made with the same high quality chocolate. You won't have to worry about variety, new ideas find their way to our already large assortment of molds constantly.

A superior product

A true Belgian chocolatier, like us, honors the Belgian tradition of fine and exquisite chocolate making. Our pralines and truffles are all natural, without preservatives, without colorings, without artificial additives, always freshly made from week to week in a state-of-the-art factory.
Our pralines and truffles don't keep for months... like some of our competitors. We sincerely hope that you'll understand, by browsing our web site and looking at the products, how serious and passionate we are about what we do with chocolate.
Our product is also superior to imported finished goods, which typically have preservatives and a long shelf life because it takes more than a couple of days till an order is processed, product is packed, shipped overseas, cleared customs, transported to a warehouse and finally distributed to a store.

Why does Belvedere's taste so much better ?

First, our chocolate comes from Callebaut Belgium, without question a trendsetter in the world of chocolate for decades.
Secondly, we are chocolatiers not chemists. Our fillings and centers are made from scratch, with regular and very basic ingredients, identical to the ones that are to be found in any household kitchen: cream, butter, eggs, sugar, etc. We purchase real fruit, rather than processed fruit (like preserves, which have unwanted sweeteners and thickeners), we brew our own coffee and tea, we roast nuts ourselves, and by going through all that trouble, we control the process in every aspect, resulting in an excellent product.
Also, our Belgian chocolatier is an expert in creating very well-balanced fillings, without overwhelming flavors, an art you could compare to wine making.
Do we need explain more why ours tastes better ?
We don't want you to take our word for it; every person experiences taste and flavor in a unique way. Convince yourself by conducting a taste test: compare our pralines with the ones from competitors, and most of all, don't forget to check out the ingredient list: in our products, you won't find anything that is artificial, and surely no hydrogenated oils or fats. Trans fats are bad for anybody's health.

Why franchising with Belvedere ?

Our company will be your backbone, not only because of our Belgian background, but in many ways.
Beside a wide assortment of pralines and truffles, we offer a full line of solid and hollow chocolate figurines, seasonal and year-round items, plus support products for chocolate fountains and fondues.
Having a full line is to your advantage: you don't need to shop elsewhere and all the product is made with the same high quality chocolate and manufacturing standards. The customer will appreciate that the Easter Eggs are as delicious as the Yule Log on Christmas Eve's dinner.
We also stock packaging items which you can buy in small quantities from us at prices like you would have with volume purchases.
If you interested in a deeper level than just retailing, there is an option in manufacturing products by yourself as well. Don't hesitate to ask for details. It is very eye-catching for the store, when the customer can have a peek on how things are done.

We will show you how you can extend your business with personalized products for business gifts, wedding favors and share our experience to tap into the local market, like hotels, country clubs, etc.

And to make the circle complete, we have developed additional products that blend in perfectly with the Belgian character of the shop like ice cream bonbons and sugar waffles.

We do charge a one-time franchise fee, which is to set off the cost of training you and sharing our business experiences, including how to setup your location.
Also, we like to point out that you will be able to resell our products with a decent margin. We want you to be successful and we'll do everything in our power to help you succeed.

If you are interested in a larger operation, we are also offering franchises of  a Belvedere Belgian Style Chocolates® manufacturing unit.
Though the years, we have developed and fine-tuned a new and innovative way of handcrafting pralines and truffles, resulting in unparalleled quality, which even small chocolatiers with one store front won't be able to match.
