The Chocolate
Factory opened it's doors in May of 1972.
Mike
Toffler had been in the ice cream business
for several years when Peter Blommer approached
him about starting an ice cream parlor
in Cedarburg.
The
original ice cream parlor, that also sold
candy, was opened on a shoestring. The
first menu was hand-printed and the business
was designed on the back of a napkin.
By
October of the same year, the exclusively
ice cream shop, added the now famous subs
to the menu. Not long after it was opened,
the owners decided they needed something
to distinguish themselves. While the Chocolate
factory had always made it's own hot fudge,
Blommer decided to take a food science
course at the university so they could
make their own very high quality ice cream...The
rest is history.
All
7 of the Chocolate Factory location's
reflect the traditions and atmosphere
that were started right in Cedarburg in
1972, a place where people can reminisce,
families can gather and youth can get
together.
