Norman Love Confections® was founded by Norman and Mary Love, in Fort Myers, Florida in 2001, after Norman leaving behind a 13 years sucessful career as executive pastry chef at The Ritz-Carlton.

Originally intending to sell wholesale to acquaintances he had made in the restaurant industry, Love quickly realized that there was great consumer demand for the ultra-premium chocolates he was producing, and opened his flagship chocolate salon off of Daniels Parkway. In the 20 years since, Norman Love Confections has opened five additional chocolate salons, along with an artisan gelato shop located adjacent to the original retail location.
