BOARDMAN, Ohio – After a successful ownership transition in 2023, Gorant Chocolates is launching an expanded wholesale program.
Under the leadership of new owners Bergen Giordani and Nino Rubino, the local chocolate company has retooled its production capabilities and modernized its operations to better serve both existing and new partners.
The wholesale program allows approved retailers to order Gorant’s full product line online, with options for shipping or local pickup. From signature boxed assortments to seasonal specialties, customers can access handcrafted chocolates made in the Mahoning Valley online.
“This is an exciting new chapter for Gorant,” Giordani said. “We’ve worked hard behind the scenes to improve systems, streamline ordering and ensure our wholesale partners have a seamless experience that matches the quality of our products.”
In addition to wholesale offerings, Gorant Chocolates continues to support schools, sports teams and nonprofits through its established fundraising program.
“We have baby-stepped into the wholesale arena and have already seen success with partners such as Joseph’s Market and UPMC Hospital gift shops in New Castle and soon to be Farrell, Pa., as well as Spruce Home Décor and Gifts here in Boardman and their Chataqua, N.Y., location,” Rubino added. “We are looking forward to adding additional partners to our wholesale family.”
Wholesale and fundraising inquiries can be made directly through the company’s website.
