RMCF's CEO Rob Sarlls praised the efforts of the Company's franchisee owners, Company-owned store employees, and the whole RMCF team. "We are proud of everyone's willingness to meet the ever-changing needs and demands of Rocky Mountain Chocolate consumers. This recognition proves that making and selling high quality products alone does not suffice. It also takes a strong and relentless passion for service, flexibility, and a quality experience for those that visit our stores," he said.

Sarlls, who joined the Company as CEO in May of 2022, emphasized the Company is not resting on its laurels. "Newsweek's recognition is a solid proof point of recent progress and the strength and resonance of our brand. This is only a beginning, however, of our renewed efforts to build value for the Company and its shareholders. That includes a strategic review of every aspect of our business and operations. In the coming weeks we anticipate introducing a new Chief Financial Officer and communicating more frequently and consistently with key stakeholders in our business, including employees, franchisees, key business partners, and investors."

Newsweek survey results are based on an independent survey commissioned by Newsweek in partnership with Statista, a global business data platform. They surveyed more than 10,000 U.S. customers who have shopped in-person inside retail stores in the past three years. Final rankings are based on how likely these customers would be to recommend the companies to friends and family, and five quality criteria: products, customer service, atmosphere, accessibility, and store layout.
