St. Louis is known for being founder of some great companies. Just as kids get grown and move away from the home base.
A host of companies that once were founded in St. Louis, either moved,merged or formed new corporations outside of Missouri. However,they still never have forgotten their St. Louis roots.
And for over 90 years, Bissinger stands on being in the city for the long haul, with its fine chocolates and confectioneries. After moving from the north riverfront area (sign still there), and being sold to the Abel’s. Bissinger’s has a even more larger standing presence in the Hill area of the city.
Bissinger Handcrafted Chocolates:
“At Bissinger’s, we take our profound love of chocolate very seriously. Our rich history of confection craftsmanship has endured for over 350 years, and the Bissinger family’s singular passion and privilege to hand craft the finest chocolate in the world still remains. Once confectioner to the King of France and European nobility, the Bissinger’s name has been of of the longest standing names in the confectionery industry.
To this day, we remain a family owned business with a true appreciation and love for chocolate. Our confections were originally created and enjoyed by European nobility and today , we still use the same timeless recipes, crafted in new and inventive ways for all who appreciate a truly luxurious chocolate experience.”
In addition to Bissinger’s commitment to St. Louis longevity, the city is getting developments all around the north riverfroint area. As a result it probably will motivate the Crown Prince of Chocolate to possibly expand furtherly.

Their story:
Our story begins in 1668, Paris France. At Bissinger’s, we take our profound love of chocolate very seriously. Our rich history of confection craftsmanship has endured for over 350 years, and the Bissinger family’s singular passion and privilege to hand craft the finest chocolate in the world still remains. Once confectioner to the King of France and European nobility, the Bissinger’s name has been one of the longest standing names in the confectionery industry. To this day, we remain a family owned business with a true appreciation and love for chocolate.
Our confections were originally created and enjoyed by European nobility and today, we still use the same timeless recipes, crafted in new and inventive ways for all who appreciate a truly luxurious chocolate experience.
We believe in preserving the old world techniques necessary for exquisite quality, using copper kettles and preparing our recipes in small batches using fresh ingredients.
Our goal has never been to be the biggest chocolatier in the world, only the finest.
Sincerely,
The Abel Family
