More than a franchise—It's a partnership with purpose
At Peterbrooke ® Chocolatier, we're not just looking for investors—we're looking for partners who share our passion for people, product, and purpose. Our most successful franchisees come from diverse backgrounds, but they all have one thing in common: a commitment to delivering joy, quality, and community through every chocolate-dipped experience.
"After working in corporate America for many years, I was ready for a new challenge. The Peterbrooke business model is a proven one and the training and support provided has put us quickly on the path to success and allowed us to build something long term for our family."

Our franchisees aren't just selling chocolate; they're curating a brand experience that celebrates moments, brings people together, and leaves a lasting impression. Whether you're on-site as a hands-on owner or empowering a trusted manager to run the day-to-day, you'll still be at the heart of a business that's personal, joyful, and deeply connected to your community.
You don't need experience in food service or retail to join our family, but you do need the drive to succeed, a hands-on mentality (even if you're not present every day), and the heart to lead a team with purpose.
Owning a Peterbrooke also means embracing the support of a proven system that’s built to help you thrive.
