Kickstarter $20K Stretch Goal

G. E. Gallas

A few days ago, we reached over 100% of our initial Kickstarter funding goal of $5,000. So we’ve decided to introduce a $20K STRETCH GOAL! If we reach our Stretch Goal, we’ll be able to upgrade our packaging. To help us reach our goal, we’ve created a new add-on to our Kickstarter campaign: COLOR WOODEN PINS!

As of publishing this blog post, we’ve raised $7,392. So we need $12,608 in 21 days to reach our Stretch Goal.

River-Sea Chocolate's Reston Grand Opening

G. E. Gallas

Congratulations to River-Sea Chocolates, who just opened their new Reston retail shop! Earlier this year, River-Sea Chocolates moved their bean-to-bar factory to this wonderful space in Reston. And now their second retail space (in addition to their original Chantilly location) is up and running.

“Pssst… after a long journey we’re finally opening the doors to our new Reston retail shop and chocolate factory on Monday September 8. We’ll begin with a soft opening, Monday through Friday from 11am to 7pm. A full grand opening celebration is coming later this fall, planned for late October or early November.”

Furthermore, River-Sea Chocolates was recently featured on WTOP’s Small Business September coverage. Read and watch more by clicking here!

If you live in or near Reston or Chantilly, Virginia, we hope you’ll go check out this fantastic small business.
