"When it comes time to produce our pink hearts each year, we remind the customers in our stores and on our web site to shop until we stop breast cancer. Chocolate is a feel good product and in our opinion, there is no sweeter way to support research, detection and treatment. Every year we find that our customers seek these gifts out for the office, friends and even as a shower gift which is pretty spectacular."
