Wholesale Pricing
Approved wholesale customers receive wholesale pricing based on product, packaging configuration, quantity and order volume.
Wholesale pricing is separate from our consumer and corporate-gifting volume discount programs.
Some products are available in standard wholesale case packs or multi-unit configurations. Larger orders and ongoing retail programs may qualify for additional pricing arrangements.
Contact us for current wholesale pricing, minimum-order requirements and product availability.
Freshness Matters
Fine Belgian pralines are different from mass-produced packaged candy.
Many Leonidas chocolates are made with ingredients such as fresh butter and cream and are intended to be enjoyed fresh. Maintaining appropriate inventory turnover and storage conditions is therefore important.
Our regular imports from Belgium allow us to maintain a fresh supply of chocolates for the U.S. market.
We can help wholesale customers select products and quantities appropriate for their expected rate of sale.
Chocolate Shipping Across the United States
Chocolate requires special handling, particularly during warmer months.
We ship throughout the United States using shipping methods appropriate for destination temperatures and transit times. During hot weather, expedited transportation and insulated packaging may be required.
For larger wholesale and distribution orders, contact us before ordering so that we can determine an appropriate shipping method and schedule.

From a small shelf assortment to a dedicated Leonidas chocolate presentation.
Target retail price points

Expected sales volume
We can recommend order quantities designed to support freshness and appropriate inventory turnover.
