To our valued Peace by Chocolate supporters,

Another year has come and we face many of the same challenges as we did in 2020. We still endeavor to help those at home add a bit of sweetness and normalcy to days of self-isolation and quarantine.
With the current restrictions in place in Nova Scotia, we wanted to mention that our factory still remains open and we are happy to be able to continue spreading peace during these troubled times. Our online store remains open and we will continue to send out and ship chocolate anywhere in Canada, the US and the world. 

We will also update in the coming days if we are able to offer curbside pickup at our retail locations moving forward.

Our classic Mood Boosters are still available to bring some joy right to someone’s doorstep. It and all our items are currently 10% off so everyone can get a boost leading up to Mother’s Day with the discount code MOTHERSWEEK2021 (all caps).

Take care of one another, stay safe, listen to the official recommendations of our health care experts, and let's do our best for each other.

Best Wishes,
The Peace by Chocolate Team

Peace by Chocolate (The Film) is based on our story, filmed Canada in January, 2020. The movie has incredible Syrian and Canadian actors are on the cast list.

The reason we were all able to have our official Grand Opening on Thursday April 8th is because of the leadership of Dr. Strang and the Nova Scotia Healthcare team and we couldn’t be happier to see him attending our Ribbon Cutting event and joining our family on the big day.

We’ve admired his diligent work for all us Nova Scotians. Thank you Good Doctor.

 

We are so honoured that you accepted our Peace tie gift!

 

 

We are so honoured to have been featured on Global News National Broadcast!
Our new signature chocolate Boutique located at 1741 Lower Water Street, Halifax has been attracting hundreds of customers since its opening on Friday March 5th!

 

"Nova Scotia businessman Tareq Hadhad says he’s confident of an economic turnaround in Canada by the end of 2020.

Hadhad, who fled war-torn Syria with his family in 2015, has opened a new shop for his internationally successful brand, Peace By Chocolate. During Friday’s store opening, a mask hid his smile. But, Hadhad’s eyes still sparkled.

“We wanted to translate our culture and our heritage into something so beautiful. So when you look in the arch, the turquoise, that translates into the colour in our ancient houses in Damascus,” Hadhad said.

The chocolates come from a factory in the town of Antigonish, N.S., where the Hadhads settled after coming to Canada. Soon after he was sworn in as a Canadian citizen last year, the pandemic hit. Hadhad says it’s been stressful for his family. But, he says they have a different perspective than many Canadians. He says a bomb destroyed their original chocolate factory, in Damascus, in 2012.

Halifax, Nova Scotia - February 2021 - Chocolate makes happiness! Peace by Chocolate started as the result of people and passions coming together to advocate for a cause. The company is expanding that passion to open its first of its kind chocolate boutique at The Queen's Marque in the heart of Halifax’s waterfront. 

 

“This province welcomed our family with open arms in 2016, and we are honoured to continue our mission. Antigonish will remain home to the factory of Peace by Chocolate and our first chocolate shop.” explains Tareq Hadhad, Founder and CEO of Peace by Chocolate. “At the beginning of this pandemic, when everybody was thinking, ‘this is the end of the world,’ we were thinking, ‘this is the start of a new phase’. The pandemic has had negative impacts on so many businesses but we learned new techniques during this crisis about creating our best mindset to face it. It’s time to turn these challenging times into ways to grow.”

 

The new chocolate boutique is set to open its doors at Queen’s Marque in Halifax to continue the family’s journey of spreading the message of peace. The store reflects the Syrian heritage of the Hadhad family. In addition to their traditional products, Peace by Chocolate has created a new line of artisan chocolate, handmade in Antigonish. The chocolate boutique adds 40 new chocolate flavours, decadent hot chocolate, coffee and handmade fine pastry. The shop is currently developing products and partnerships with local businesses across Nova Scotia.

 

“Queen’s Marque is the story of a modern Nova Scotia and what is possible here, and there is no better representation of that story than Peace by Chocolate,” says Scott Armour McCrea, CEO of The Armour Group. “We are delighted to welcome Tareq Hadhad and Peace by Chocolate as one of the first retail tenants to open at Queen’s Marque.” 

 

“We will always be thankful for the incredible community support of Nova Scotians, after all, ‘one Peace won’t hurt’.'' explains Hadhad.
