Our Story
Red Elephant Chocolate was founded in 2012 by Richard, a lawyer-turned-chocolatier and adjunct faculty member at Concordia University Wisconsin. With storefronts in Milwaukee and Madison, Richard built more than just a chocolate company—he combined his love for entrepreneurship, education, and exceptional chocolate to create something truly unique.
Upon his retirement, the business was sold to a team of Concordia alumni, faculty, and investors—ensuring the company’s mission would live on and deepen its connection to the Concordia community.
In 2020, Concordia Red Elephant Chocolate was relaunched as a student-involved business operating out of the Robert W. Plaster Free Enterprise Center on Concordia’s Mequon campus. Students gain firsthand experience in entrepreneurship, working in real roles across sales, marketing, and operations. A portion of proceeds is earmarked to support student scholarships and experiential learning initiatives.
Today, Concordia Red Elephant Chocolate continues to handcraft premium truffles and custom chocolate bars—blending artistry, purpose, and education in every bite.
