Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory was founded in 1981 by Frank Crail, in Durango, Colorado. Crail was looking for an easier way of life in Colorado and thought a candy company sounded like a sweet deal. Franchising began the following year, with the first franchises opening in Utah and Colorado Springs, Colorado.
The company went public on the NASDAQ in 1985 and can be found under the ticker symbol: RMCF. Whitman’s offered to buy the company in 1996, but their offer of $16 million was rejected.
Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory makes its own premium line of chocolate and other types of candy. The company has more than 300 different types of chocolate or chocolate covered candies, with new ideas being presented each year.

We went to Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory in Breckenridge, Colorado for Mother’s Day and ordered 2 apples. They were inedible and had to throw them away, the apples were pithy, the Carmel didn’t taste right, and the server at the store seemed very, very, distressed. Truly disappointing because you have always had very delicious apples and we have been going to your store for decades.

Went to the Laughlin outlet mall and found one of your stores, have had different apples from lots of places, spent 23.00 on apples and chocolate pretzels. The apples were both rotten inside!!! I am so disappointed in your product.

Hi…I purchased 2 of the toffee apples..at the San Clemente oulet..today Sunday..March 5th. I even made a comment to the guy…that they didn’t look right..as I have been purchasing these from several different locations for probably over 10 years….well…later this evening. ..we just ate them…and they were horrible…the caramel was all mushy…and they just didn’t look right…the chocolate was all wet and runny too….for $14.00 dollars…was terrible…not your usual great product. ..very disappointed.
