Shop Local - Chocolates By Leopold
One of our passions here at Spectrum Electrical Services, Inc. is supporting local business within our hometown of Montrose, PA and the surrounding areas. With most of our management team having grown up in the small town atmosphere, we value the memories and cherish the hometown feel Montrose has to offer starting with the small businesses lining Public Ave and spreading throughout the streets. Stay tuned if you would like to learn about some of the local businesses within Montrose and the surrounding areas that we enjoy supporting and hope you will too!
Chocolates By Leopold, Inc. is, as the name suggests, a chocolate and candy store located in downtown Montrose, PA. Here’s the story of how they came to be: “Leopold Schreiber began learning chocolate at age 12 under the tutelage of the corner candy store owner in his hometown. There he learned the techniques, tools and recipes needed to create quality confections. During his time with that company, Leopold was promoted to Head Candy Maker and then to General Manager of the store’s large chocolate factory. Leopold maintained his status as General Manager and Master Confectioner for 19 years.
By 1997, Leopold made his personal dreams a reality by opening his own chocolate factory and store in Binghamton, NY. While there, he acquired many devoted, regular customers. His customers had the pleasure of watching as Leopold created chocolate masterpieces such as an Aztec Pyramid, Carousels and a replica of the Binghamton Mets baseball stadium. Leopold enjoyed the opportunity to fill orders for customers no matter the size or degree of difficulty. For one customer, he created 24,000 white chocolate golf balls!
In 2005, Leopold moved his factory and store from Binghamton to Montrose, PA, where he continued to pursue his passion for chocolate making.
Leopold uses fourth generation German chocolate recipes to satisfy every chocolate lover’s palate. These recipes include such specialties as Buttercrunch, Cherry Cordials and Mint Delight. Leopold also creates mainstays such as Chocolate Bark, Truffles, and Caramels.”
We used Chocolates By Leopold’s for company Christmas gifts this year – the team at Leopold’s were very helpful and professional from the first phone call, through helping us customize our gifts, and the delivery of them. All of us here at Spectrum Electrical Services, Inc. would highly recommend you stop and grab some goodies here!
