For the last 2 decades I've been an artisan chocolate maker who carefully perfected my craft and delivered tasty , beautifully packaged chocolates to my customers.

Although I started selling my product at a farmers market out of a cooler, as sales grew I knew I needed a better way to sell and I opened my first retail store in the small windward town of Kailua on the island of Oahu called "Sweet Paradise". It was a great decision!
Being in a tourist destination meant that rents were expensive and I could not afford a prime retail location. When I started out over 20 years ago, the internet was just getting going and even things like cash registers were just starting in a brand new thing called "the Cloud". There was no Square Register, No Google, and no Facebook Ads. The first "social media" was some clunky in -store device that allowed you to stand on the platform, capture a pic of yourself and your friends and email it to someone.

OMG! Despite the struggle ,my company achieved excellent retail results earning it a 3 consecutive year “ Fastest 50 Growing Business' in Hawaii ” award from the Pacific Business News, A Best New Business Award from the local Chamber of Commerce and a Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence Award for it’s high level of positive reviews and customer satisfaction.

Our chocolate products also won over a dozen local and International Awards.
