Cocoa Pete's Chocolate Adventures
內容大綱
On Labor Day 2002, Cocoa Pete's Chocolate Adventures launched its small selection of gourmet chocolates at high-end supermarkets in the San Francisco Bay Area. The company's founder, Pete Slosberg, had carved a niche out of the stagnant chocolate industry, where he thought a start-up could thrive. His strategy was in many ways derived from the strategy for his previous entrepreneurial success: Pete's Brewing Co. (makers of Pete's Wicked Ale). Of significance was Cocoa Pete's determination to substitute its own production facilities with the underutilized equipment of a larger chocolatier. Cocoa Pete's gourmet chocolates were positioned as irreverent and fun to capitalize on the changing American palette, where the more staid gourmet brands seemed inaccessible. Throughout the strategic planning and product execution, Slosberg and Cocoa Pete's CEO Scott Barnum were pushing to change an industry.
