Ashvegas noted this tweet by Leah McGrath, the Ingles' dietician:
@chocolatelounge great to see you at #TasteofAVL -excited 2 hear abt ur plans for a #CHOCOLATE FACTORY in #Asheville!


Chocolate factories are few and far between. Wikipedia's listing for "bean-to-bar" chocolate factories lists only 24 in the United States. The process of grinding beans into a smooth paste can take seven days of continuous pulverizing, and is a fine art.
