Lovers of Bernard Callebaut gourmet chocolates will be interested to hear that the Calgary-based chocolatier is making a last-ditch effort to save his company, which went into receivership in early August.
He has a Wednesday deadline.
The fourth-generation chocolatier, who is originally from Belgium, has apparently formulated a plan that would see him making chocolates for the company with a new brand identity, storefront and factory, according to a Calgary Herald story.
The company is currently under the control of court-appointed Deloitte & Touche.
Sadly, the passionate chocolatier got himself into this pickle because he was trying to expand production to accommodate growing demand for his popular gourmet chocolate.
No doubt the owners of chocolate shops carrying Bernard Callebaut chocolates — including the Cathedral Village location in Regina, owned by David Loblaw — will be watching with interest. Fingers crossed that Bernard is able to find enough investors to join him to bid for the company.
Keep that delicious Bernard Callebaut chocolate coming!
