Help Bring Toohey's Chocolate Back!

On October 2nd, Bijou Fine Chocolate in Shelburne, Vermont was abruptly closed and shut down by a managing member of its parent company.

The closing came without notice to our family, and was a devastating shock. We arrived to prepare for a busy week only to find the store and production area entirely gutted and emptied.

As you know, our family poured our love and energy into the operation. We’ve been dedicated to bringing you the finest chocolate and the most personal experience available. You’ve honored us by being devout customers, even spreading our culinary creations across the world by sharing them with your friends and family. We’ve worked hard to build and serve a loving and appreciative community of customers such as yourself.

Though the shuttering of Bijou has been difficult for us, we are very excited to move forward and continue serving you.   With enough support, our plan is to open a new shop of our own in time for the coming holiday season.

If our last endeavor meant anything to you, if you enjoyed our chocolate, the service, the place we occupied in this wonderful community, we’d love to ask for your support through a contribution to our campaign. The money we raise will go towards purchasing new equipment, the lease and buildout of the new store and production area, and the purchasing of supplies and materials. Any contribution is extremely appreciated and will help us move that much closer to our goal. Thank you so much!
