Peace by Chocolate Opens Boutique at Royalty Crossing on Prince Edward Island

Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island – August 6, 2026 - Chocolate makes happiness! Peace by Chocolate was born from people and passions coming together to support a meaningful cause. Now, the company is expanding that passion by opening a new boutique at Royalty Crossing on Prince Edward Island. A ribbon-cutting ceremony and grand opening celebration with the Hadhad family will take place on Monday, August 10, 2026, at 1:00 p.m.

"We are thrilled to welcome Peace by Chocolate to Royalty Crossing. Their inspiring story, exceptional products, and commitment to community make them a wonderful addition to our tenant mix. We are confident they will be warmly embraced by both Islanders and the many visitors who shop with us throughout the summer and beyond." says Ewan Bowman, Property Manager, Royalty Crossing.

Located in the heart of Charlottetown, Royalty Crossing is Prince Edward Island's largest shopping destination. The mall serves as a vibrant gathering place for Islanders and visitors alike, welcoming thousands of shoppers each year. As Peace by Chocolate celebrates its 10th anniversary, Royalty Crossing was the natural choice for the company's first boutique outside Nova Scotia, introducing both its exceptional products and remarkable story to Prince Edward Island.

Peace by Chocolate began selling handcrafted chocolates at the Antigonish Farmers' Market in Nova Scotia in 2016. Since then, the company's inspiring journey has become an international success story. Today, Peace by Chocolate operates boutiques in Antigonish, Halifax, Halifax Stanfield Airport, and now Prince Edward Island.

"This marks the next big milestone in our family's story—our first boutique outside our home province of Nova Scotia. We are incredibly excited to open on Prince Edward Island, a place that has always held special meaning for our family. We've experienced so much warmth and hospitality here, and we're proud to become part of a province that welcomes visitors from around the world," says Tareq Hadhad, Founder and CEO of Peace by Chocolate.

"The team at Royalty Crossing has been an incredible partner in bringing this boutique to life. Our family has visited Prince Edward Island many times, and we've always been inspired by its people and beautiful scenery. We are honoured to continue our mission of spreading peace, kindness, and love in such a special place," Hadhad adds.

Founded by the Hadhad family after fleeing war in Syria and rebuilding their lives in Canada, Peace by Chocolate has become a symbol of resilience, hope, and gratitude. What began as a small business in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, has grown into a nationally recognized brand dedicated to creating exceptional chocolate while giving back to communities through acts of kindness, charitable partnerships, and a mission to spread peace—one piece of chocolate at a time.
