Purdys Chocolatier Marks Its Next Chapter of Canadian Growth with Maritimes Expansion
The 119-year-old legacy chocolatier is expanding into a new market, with four shops across Nova Scotia and New Brunswick opening in September 2026
Purdys Chocolatier is expanding into the Maritimes, bringing its rich Canadian heritage from the West Coast to the East Coast, and marking a new chapter in its Canadian history. This September, the beloved Canadian chocolatier, founded in 1907, will open four locations in shopping malls across Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. This milestone adds two new provinces to the brand’s growing national footprint, and Purdys Chocolatier is honoured to bring 119 years of Canadian craftsmanship to the Maritimes.

The expansion is a direct response to vocal enthusiasm from Maritimers who have been asking for a local shop for years. Purdys Chocolatier has already been a part of the community for some time through local fundraising programs alongside strong online support. Across the Maritimes, parents, coaches, and school volunteers have regularly partnered with Purdys Chocolatier to support important community projects – from school field trips and classroom supplies to travel costs for sports teams, bands, and clubs. As a family-owned Canadian business committed to intentional growth within the country, expanding to the Maritimes was the natural choice for the brand. Both Purdys Chocolatier and the Maritimes share a deep love for quality, local pride, and Canadian craftsmanship.
