Theo Chocolate's flagship store in Fremont to close after 19 sweet years of service

Theo Chocolate's flagship store in Fremont, Seattle, will close after 19 years of operation, with its final day being February 16, 2025. The store has been a cherished destination for chocolate enthusiasts, offering fresh, locally made chocolates and memorable experiences, including tours and classes. Long-time customer Bonnie Britt expressed her heartbreak over the closure, recalling how her family celebrated special occasions, such as weddings, with chocolates from the store. Although the specific reasons for the closure remain undisclosed, the company has invited the public to partake in one last series of hands-on chocolate experiences leading up to the closing date.
