Rogers’ Chocolates has been around for well over a century having been established in 1885 by Charles Rogers. He was a farmer’s son from Massachusetts who moved to Victoria, BC where the company still makes its chocolates and has its Heritage Store, which first opened its doors in 1903.
The first chocolate Charles created was the Victoria Cream, which quickly became a favourite among the locals. While Charles made chocolates, his wife Leah managed the retail store and together they built a thriving business.
Today, you can buy Rogers’ Chocolates online, the Heritage Store as well as seven other locations.
