What We Believe In
At Bizz and Weezy, we are passionate self-taught chocolatiers dedicated to creating high-quality chocolates that are both accessible and affordable. From the very beginning, we’ve believed in supporting our local community and prioritizing the use of fresh, quality ingredients. Our mission has always been to craft confections that people can enjoy without breaking the bank, and we’re proud to offer a range of products that reflect this commitment.
Our chocolates feature a variety of locally sourced ingredients, from smooth Bourbon to rich coffee and even unique flavors like BBQ (available exclusively in-store). These flavors reflect our love for our local community and our belief that the best ingredients often come from the places we call home.
At Bizz and Weezy, we are more than just a business — we are a family that has grown from the ground up. We are passionate about nurturing not only our business but also those around us. Our goal is to uplift our team members and support other small businesses in our community, helping them thrive alongside us.
How We Started
Our journey began in 2008, when friends and family began requesting that we make truffles and candies for special occasions. What started as a fun hobby quickly grew into a passion for creating high-quality, hand-crafted chocolates. By 2010, we had expanded into local resell and wholesale, running a professional kitchen out of our basement. It was a humble start, but it was the beginning of something special.
By 2012, our growing demand led us to move into a commercial kitchen, allowing us to meet the increasing need for our products. The following years were filled with milestones, and in 2015, we officially opened our retail location at 1800 Baltimore Ave in Kansas City, MO, where we’ve proudly been serving our community for over 7 years.
As we settled into our new space, we didn’t just stop at chocolates. Over time, our business evolved, and we expanded our offerings to include a café and coffee shop, giving our customers a full experience with a variety of beverages and treats.
When the pandemic hit, we knew we needed to adapt. That’s when we launched our delivered brunch boxes, allowing our products to reach our customers’ doorsteps. It was a way to bring a little joy into their homes during uncertain times, and it’s a service we continue to offer today.
Where Did You Get the Name?
Choosing a name for our business was one of the toughest parts of our journey. We spent over 6 months brainstorming, polling friends and family, and coming up with countless ideas — but nothing felt quite right. We didn’t want the name to just reflect us as individuals; we wanted it to tell a story that connected with who we were as people and as a brand.
During this time, we were also deep into playing World of Warcraft — a game that, at the time, was more of a lifestyle than a pastime. We spent 40 to 60 hours a week in the game, bonding with friends and enjoying the community we built. Every weekend, we would gather with a large group of friends and ask the same question: "Does anyone have any ideas for a name for our business?"
One weekend, after months of us pestering our friends, one of them — clearly frustrated — threw up his hands and said, “For the love of God, will you just call it Bizz & Weezy and leave me alone?”
And in that moment, everything clicked. We fell in love with the name instantly. It was perfect. The name wasn’t directly tied to us, but it still felt like us. Bizz and Weezy were our online gamertags — two people who loved playing together, just as we loved making chocolate together.
It was a perfect blend of who we were: two online gamers turned chocolatiers, driven by passion, creativity, and a strong connection to our community. And so, Bizz & Weezy was born — a name that represents both our past and our future.
We hope our story inspires you to create something of your own — whether it's a small business, a passion project, or just following what makes you happy. Thank you for being part of our journey, and we look forward to serving you delicious chocolates and more for years to come!
