Passion, enthusiasm, advocacy, contribution, and excellence: If you put together the first letters of these five words, they spell out ‘peace’. And the words represent the core values of Peace by Chocolate, a successful Nova Scotia business built by a Syrian refugee family that is officially expanding this week.
“That’s why we call the company Peace by Chocolate, because we believe that peace is something so noble everyone should fight for, and chocolate is our product of happiness,” said Tareq Hadhad, owner and CEO of Peace by Chocolate.
On April 8, there will be a ribbon cutting for the company’s new store in downtown Halifax. The ceremony was initially scheduled for March 4, but was cancelled because of increased COVID-19 restrictions in Nova Scotia at that time.
