Entrepreneur Builds Sweet Business
Despite the fact that the chocolate business is seasonal, Seattle Chocolates has an annual income of $12-15 million. According to the company’s owner, Jean Thompson, “In the world of chocolate, women are the influencers, adopters and frequent buyers. It’s advantageous to be a woman running the company in an industry like this because you completely understand what women like and want. The chocolate industry is still quite dominated by men owned companies. Our products are all about quality and taste and we believe that women want that in chocolate.”
