After outgrowing the production capacity of their existing factory in downtown Asheville, French Broad Chocolates were in need of additional processing area as well as a new retail & cafe space. We were able to partner with Elm Construction & Design, along with French Broad Chocolates to upfit an existing factory space in the River Arts District to satisfy their growing needs. This included developing a new production sequence that maximizes efficiency while allowing customers to tour the chocolate-making process, demonstration areas for classes, support areas for employees, and a new retail & cafe area for patrons to sample a variety of chocolate-related treats and beverages.
