From the Rogers' Chocolate webpage on History:

Rogers' Chocolates is steeped in tradition and a rich history that has earned the company its current reputation as one of Canada's premiere chocolate makers.

The first Rogers' chocolates were made in 1885 by Charles "Candy" Rogers in the back of his grocery store in Victoria, B.C. He quickly became a popular man. In 1891, Rogers expanded his chocolate operation to the company's current heritage storefront on Government Street in Victoria and the rest, as they say, is history.

Today, Rogers' Chocolates is owned by a small group of shareholders located primarily in B.C. The Victoria-based company now has 10 retail stores

The building is a Canadian National Heritage Site and the interior of the store is as it was back in 1917.
