10 years of chocolate in Davidson

Ana M. Vazquez, co-owner and Head Chocolatier at Davidson Chocolate Co., observes 10 years in business this month. Special events are planned for Saturday, Sept. 29, but the 10th anniversary is Sept. 12.

The business was founded by the Elliott family with a “classic, yet fun” approach to handmade chocolate. Vazquez and family took over the business in 2014 after finding a match for their love of chocolate—and adventure.

“What we do is a labor of love and it is very gratifying to see smiling faces leaving the store after having our chocolates,” she says.
