Undercover Boss - Purdy's Chocolates S2 E3 (Canadian TV series)
Chocolates are a sinful indulgence, but while Kriston Dean has the nation's most delicious job, hitting sales targets is a tough nut to crack. Purdy's dominates the west, but is struggling to make an impression elsewhere. To boost sales, the Chocolate Queen travels the country, working in disguise in her own stores and factory floors. But Kriston is nearly busted by a suspicious staffer, and it's not long before she has a chocolate meltdown and brings an entire assembly line to a gooey halt. When her fake tattoo is wiped off and wig whipped away at the end of the week, she meets the people she worked with again. Her true identity is revealed, and they discover she's a boss with a soft center. Devoted worker Kathy, who juggles hectic factory floor shifts while looking after a sick husband and raising a grandson, is full of teary-eyed appreciation when Kriston decides it's time to make her life easier.[18]

Company Information...
Purdys Chocolatier is a Canadian chocolatier, confectionery manufacturer, and retail operator. The company is based out of Vancouver, British Columbia on the west coast of Canada. From its 57,000 square-foot (5,295 m2) factory, Purdys produces its line of premium chocolates and confectioneries, which are then distributed to all of its retail locations. These products include a variety of specialty chocolates; including truffles, hazelnut Hedgehogs, caramels, creams, moulded filled chocolates, caramels and clusters. Many individual outlets also prepare ice cream bars dipped and covered in toppings of ones choice in full view of customers. Purdys began expanding outside of British Columbia in 1970 with its first outlets outside of British Columbia opening in Alberta. Purdys then began expansion into Ontario in 2004. There are currently a total of 64 stores in British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario.
History
The company was founded in 1907 by Richard Carmon Purdy, who opened his first shop on Robson Street in Vancouver.
According to the 1901 census Purdy's profession was listed as a barber. After the death of his wife, Purdy packed up his belongings and moved from London, Ontario to British Columbia to start a new life in Vancouver. Having had a lifelong fascination with the making of confectioneries, Purdy began experiment with creating chocolate recipes in his Vancouver home kitchen, and then selling them on the streets. In this way, he developed a small but enthusiastic customer base. In 1907 Purdy set up his first chocolate shop on Robson Street, which was fast becoming a bustling downtown shopping district.
In the 1920s Purdy encountered financial difficulty and was forced into receivership. Several of Purdy's major creditors, not wanting to see the company close, sent in their top bookkeeper, Hugh Forrester, to help save the company. After a few years Forrester was able to put the company back on track, and pay back all of the company's debts. Having no interest themselves in running the company, and being so impressed with his performance, the creditors decided to sell the company to Forrester for $1. Richard Purdy continued to make chocolates after his business was sold, and sold his products from a street cart in Vancouver. He then went on to open a new chocolate shop in Burnaby, British Columbia called Window Made Candy. He retired a few years later and died in February 1941.
The 1940s saw Frank Forrester join his father, Hugh, in the family business, modernised production methods, and the moving of the company's factory to a larger facility on West 7th Avenue in Vancouver. The Forresters slowly expanded the company until the early 60s, when a conflict between the visions the father and son team had for the company led them to sell Purdys in 1963 to Charles Flavelle and Eric Wilson.

A chat with Charles Flavelle, Purdys Chocolatier owner 1963-2005
When Charles Flavelle took over Purdys Chocolatier in 1963, the company only had 4 shops (we now have 76 shops and counting!). Mr. Flavelle introduced many great things to Purdys: the Original Ice Cream Bar and milk chocolate, to name a few. In this video, Mr. Flavelle shares how Purdys was almost renamed to Rosebud Chocolates (it’s a good story!), how Purdys continues to blend modern machines with artisan crafting methods and a bit about Choklit Park in Vancouver and how it came to be.
