THOMAS HAAS TOASTS 10 DELICIOUS YEARS A DECADE OF INDULGENCE
Internationally Renowned Chocolatier Gives Thanks to Loyal Fans with Exclusive Series of Anniversary Celebrations
It’s been a delicious decade since fourth-generation chocolatier and pâtissier Thomas Haas opened the doors of his eponymous café in North Vancouver, and the internationally celebrated chocolatier is marking the milestone by doing what he invariably does best: tempting people’s tastebuds.
To kick off a year-long anniversary celebration, Haas is giving thanks to his loyal fans by unveiling a toothsome trifecta that includes 10 Delicious Days of Giveaways, a Customer Appreciation Day and an exclusive 10th Anniversary Chocolate Bar collection with a new flavour introduced each month.
As a show of gratitude to the city that he has proudly called home for 20 years, Haas will soon unveil #THAASx10 where unsuspecting Vancouverites will be treated to 10 Delicious Days of Giveaways from Thurs., Nov. 19 to Sat., Nov. 28 and a chance to win a trip-of-a-lifetime for two to Paris, France alongside Haas himself.
The November festivities will culminate with a special Customer Appreciation Day at Haas’ North Vancouver location (998 Harbourside Dr.) on Sat. Nov. 28 from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. featuring complimentary treats and entertainment for all ages.
Haas’ collection of 10th Anniversary Chocolate Bars will make its debut in stores and online on Nov. 19, and will feature an array of milk-, dark- and white-chocolate varieties, with a unique flavour introduced each month. Priced between $7 to $10 per bar, the full cast of flavours includes:

“This year marks a very special celebration for both myself and Lisa,” says Haas. “We have been truly humbled by the support that we have received from our customers, friends and family since the first day we opened. We never forget that all of them have been, and continue to be, the true secret to our success.”
