Young Entrepreneurs: Love of Chocolate Led to Own Business
Fort Myers, FL – Justin Schaffer launched his first business as a chocolatier when he was 13.
Growing up, his version of a lemonade stand was whipping up chocolate turtles, toffees and chocolate covered pretzels with his younger sister, Lauren, for friends and relatives.
“My mom used to do chocolate for family and friends,” said Schaffer, 24. “She was kind of the inspiration.”
