Totally Chocolate owners purchase the building for $7.5 million

Posted

Totally Chocolate founder Jeffrey Robinson sold the company building on Sweet Road to its current owners for $7.3 million on September 1. No changes are expected to the company, said Zak Nash, vice president of corporate development at Founders Group of Food Companies, the Vancouver-based private equity firm that owns Totally Chocolate.

Robinson sold the company’s 2025 Sweet Road building to Derek Senft, a partner at Founders and managing director of Tricor Pacific Founders Capital, an investment firm that backs Founders. Tricor is a Vancouver-based corporation that purchased Totally Chocolate in February 2016.

The building’s sale produced $225,055 excise tax, $36,500 of which will be distributed locally and $188,550 will go to the state, according to the Whatcom County Treasurer’s Office. 

Totally Chocolate is a chocolatier that was founded in 1987 and relocated to Blaine in 1994. The company averages around 100 employees throughout the year, Nash said.
