Hartville Chocolate Factory

The Hartville Chocolate Factory opened it's doors to Hartville, and the world, almost 20 years ago. In 1986, having spent a few years focusing his business on the chocolate mold industry, Robert Barton, Hartville Chocolate Factory's founder, made the natural step into the production and sales of candy and chocolates. After almost two decades in the single location, the Hartville Chocolate Factory expanded, and opened the doors to Hartville Chocolate Factory II in the fall of 2002. Located within the Hartville Marketplace, Hartville Chocolate Factory II now continues the 20 year tradition of producing and selling the world's finest confectionery treats.
