Another new business in town and another ribbon cutting ceremony. The Chamber of Commerce and the Town of Friday Harbor are happy to welcome Friday Harbor Chocolates to town on Spring Street where the barber used to be, next door to Pebble.

Owners Mark Zipkin and Aylene Geringer (who you may remember as former owners of Trumpeter Inn) have opened their new chocolate and port wine store just in time for Valentine’s Day! Tuesday, February 7th was their first day open and the ribbon cutting happened on Wednesday the 8th.
Specializing only in regional, small production chocolatiers, they have a very nice variety of local, national and international award winning treats to tempt your palate. Their hours are not yet set in stone, but for this week they will be open every day up until Valentine’s Day. After that, until store hours are set, Aylene assures that they can open by appointment if necessary for any chocolate emergencies that may come up.
They also are offering products from Susan Matthew’s new “Rainshadow Sweet & Savory” pecan business, and would like to feature more local and regional fare as well.
