Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory
Retail confection store
Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory knows that tourists often leave their diets at home. That's why many of its candy stores are intentionally placed in factory outlet malls, regional malls, and tourist areas. The company has stores throughout the U.S., Canada, and the United Arab Emirates. Its products are also sold wholesale, through fundraising programs, as well as through the company's Web site. About 75% of Rocky Mountain Chocolate's sales come from its factory-made premium chocolates and confections, which include clusters, truffles, fudge, barks, caramels, and molded chocolates; the remainder comes from franchise fees.
