The history of Love Brownies
Founded in 2009, founders Lee and Chantal Teal were on a mission to create the ultimate brownie - and to make people smile. Both of these goals have no doubt been achieved and then some, after more than a decade of selling to thousands of beaming customers. Love Brownies now has a brimming trophy cabinet, with its Double Chocolate offering boasting three gold stars in the prestigious Great Taste Awards - the only brownie to do so.
The aim was to create the nation’s best chocolate brownie, which was achieved, confirmed by a list of prestigious awards. Our Double Chocolate is still the only brownie ever to be awarded the top honours of three gold stars in the Great Taste Awards.

From the taste of their delicious brownies to the way the team and franchisees engage with customers, the Love Brownies founders are keen to make it clear that the business is not a café or a shop, but an experience.
