About Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory
Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory has been handcrafting chocolate confections in Durango, Colorado since 1981, growing from a single candy store into an international brand while keeping production in the Colorado Rockies.
Heritage & History
Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory was founded in 1981 by Frank Crail in Durango, Colorado — a mountain town in the San Juan region of the southwestern Rockies. Crail opened the first store in Durango's historic Main Avenue, making fudge, caramel apples, and chocolate-dipped treats by hand in an open kitchen where customers could watch the confectionery process.
The concept was appealing enough that franchise inquiries arrived before Crail had considered franchising. By the mid-1980s, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory had stores in resort towns and tourist destinations across the West. The company went public in 1986 and expanded to hundreds of franchise locations across North America.
Made in Durango, Colorado
Despite its growth into a franchise system, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory continues to manufacture its core confection products at its Durango factory. The fudge, caramel apples, chocolate-dipped treats, and boxed chocolates sold through their Amazon store and retail channel are made in Durango.
Durango sits at 6,500 feet elevation in the San Juan Mountains, and the company's Colorado identity has remained central to its brand. The mountain setting, the handcraft aesthetic, and the open-kitchen theater of watching confections being made are all part of what Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory has exported to franchise locations.
