Trading a Wall Street career for an artisan chocolate company might seem like a risky trade but Evan Gappelberg has a knack for spotting trends. As a stockbroker in the 1990's he saw the potential of video gaming and was instrumental in taking an upstart video gaming company called Take Two Interactive Software public. Take Two turned out to be a great investment and made early investors twenty times their money as it rode the video gaming trend, which is now a $66 billion dollar a year industry. Today Gappelberg thinks he's spotted an exciting trend again and finds himself at the helm of an artisan chocolate company in the Hamptons appropriately named the: Hampton Chocolate Factory. 'Chocolate has been reinvented as an upscale, even jewel-like gift; chocolate is the new wine,' declares Gappelberg. Indeed, it would seem he's onto something given that Sir Evelyn de Rothschild, with a net worth of $20 billion and whose family was the great Bordeaux winemakers of Mouton and Lafite vineyards, has chosen a chocolate factory as his latest venture. 'The Hampton Chocolate Factory was born out of the idea that the Hamptons needed an artisanal chocolate brand to get behind, something local, something delicious, something exclusive, something that could be indulgent and cool, just like the Hamptons. The brand is not just about chocolates, 'We live in the Hamptons with our three kids, love the lifestyle, and want to see the land and lifestyle preserved for future generations,' says Gappelberg. 'our way of ensuring that is to donate a portion of sales to The Peconic Land Trust, which means when you're enjoying one of our delicious chocolates, you're also contributing to land conservation in the Hamptons; now how sweet is that!"
