Description

When Fran Bigelow founded Fran's Chocolates in 1982, it was a two-employee operation in a quaint Seattle storefront on E. Madison. Fran opened her business with the goal of creating and selling extraordinarily high quality chocolates, caramels and desserts, to customers who valued the distinction between mass marketed chocolates and truly exquisite chocolate confections. Her objective then, was to provide the ultimate taste experience by cooking with only the finest ingredients in small batches, using no preservatives or artificial additives. This commitment to quality remains the guiding philosophy today, and is one of the key reasons for growth and continuing success of the company.As her business evolved, Fran continually created new products with endless experimentation. Her product line grew to include cakes, bars, sauces, baking products - even ice cream. Fran's repeat customers favored truffles and she began to create her own centers and signature methods of hand dipping.Fran quickly became the expert in creating distinctive products that could be produced commercially, yet taste custom-made. Every product in her line is one of Fran's own recipes. While the chocolates may be based on traditional recipes, she has improved upon each one to offer a complete line of signature products that is steeped in the long-established European tradition.
