History
At the beginning of 2016, Chocolate Bash introduced the popular destination of Newport Beach in California to the tasty and unexpected deliciousness of Chocolate Bash. With owner and founder Rasha Albasha boldly leading the brand forward, our company has taken California by storm with yummy, overseasinspired Chocolate Bash menu combinations aplenty, with a second successful location opening in Los Angeles in July of 2017. We provide entrepreneurs looking for a food franchise the opportunity to get in on the ground floor of an exciting, new, easy-to-operate concept that makes and sells sweet crepes, waffles, fruit salads, Belgian chocolate dipped fruits, hot and cold drinks, and more. With satisfying food and drinks at our back and proven operational practices propelling us forward, Chocolate Bash is eager to introduce the rest of the States to our satisfying treats and, eventually, aims to expand internationally. With a solid model and steady practices in place, our brand has been built on a firm foundation and is now seeking qualified candidates for an enticing franchise offering! The atmosphere and ambiance, along with the innovative menu and drink list, will ensure that there is nothing else like it in the franchise marketplace.

We know that our high quality, exotic chocolate desserts will sell well in high traffic areas with little, if any, direct competition.
