Gustos Coffee Co. and Chocolate Cortés signed an agreement to include the latter company’s products in more than 1,800 automated vending machines that serve coffee, chai tea and chocolate in Puerto Rico.
The upcoming Coffee & Chocolate Expo promises to draw thousands of visitors to the convention center and generate up to $350,000 in sales, according to the planners of the activity.
Making and selling artisan chocolates in Puerto Rico has become a competitive option for local small businesses, which are already dipping into a growing economic sector.
