Near my little Mayberry of a town, there is a chocolate shop that sells
hand-made truffles and other chocolate confections, but not chocolate
drinks. They have recently added espresso drinks to their offerings. I would
think if even this non-urban area (Central NC) can support a fine chocolate
shop, then someone with a good business plan should be able to succeed
almost anywhere. There is also another chocolates shop, but they sell more
along the lines of barks, cups (almond cups, PB cups, etc), other candies
such as jelly beans and those jelled things that are supposed to look like
fruit. They also sell "gifty" items. This places smells so strongly of mint
that the one time I bought a chocolate confection there, it was tainted with
artificial mint. I never recommend that shop to friends, but I do highly
recommend the other one.
