Bissinger’s Handcrafted Chocolatier, a St. Louis brand for more than 90 years, has been acquired by the Abel family, which operates the Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Company locally.

Tim Fogerty, Bissinger’s previous owner and CEO, exited the chocolate business to focus on 23 City Blocks Hospitality Group, which owns and operates The Caramel Room, Lumen Private Event Space and The Chocolate Pig restaurant, according to a statement. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The Abel family will continue to operate the Bissinger’s brand as a separate entity from its Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate brand. Bissinger’s manufacturing equipment used at its former facility at 1600 North Broadway near the riverfront is being auctioned.

The Bissinger’s kitchen, staff and some equipment are being moved into a new addition of the Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate facility down the street from its main plant on the Hill, according to the statement. Founded in 1981, the Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Company offers tours of its factory at 5025 Pattison Avenue.
