A Chocolate Dream in Belmont Center Still Going Strong
Belmont, MA – It’s been 17 years since Belmont’s local sweet shop, A Chocolate Dream, first opened and there are a few people that are surprised it survived at all.
“We had a couple of customers say that a candy store would never make it here,” said co-owner Mary Nielsen. “That got us a little nervous.
“There weren’t that many stores around that sold fine chocolates and we wanted to specialize in nicer chocolates,” Nielsen said about why she and her daughter Vicki Frassici, also a co-owner, wanted to open A Chocolate Dream.
