Black Dinah Chocolatiers, an award-winning maker of chocolate truffles based on Isle au Haut in Down East Maine, is moving into the Edwards Block on Main Street in Westbrook.

According to co-owner Steve Shaffer, the process of finalizing the move is 90 percent complete. Along with his wife, Kate, the Shaffers intend to use the space mostly for production and distribution of their products, but will also have a small space for retail.

Shaffer said the pair has looked to expand their business into southern Maine to ease distribution of their candy, which has grown in popularity since 2007. Isle au Haut is a somewhat remote fishing community, part of Acadia National Park. The Shaffers also operate a cafe? in Blue Hill. The owners plan to keep both locations open.

“Anything from the island takes three times the amount of time and resources to complete,” he said. “We really wanted to make things easier.”

Shaffer added that because Black Dinah does most of its business online, he anticipates the move and added accessibility would drive down shipping rates.

On Thursday, the Shaffers had just returned from the 2015 Good Food Awards in San Francisco, where one of their chocolate truffles, called Cassis de Re?sistance, was awarded gold.

The Edwards Block building, on the corner of Main and Bridge streets, has also been home to Portland Pie Co. for eight years. Shaffer said they are hoping to get settled in the new location between the March-May timeframe.

“We really like Westbrook, and the location is beautiful,” he said. “We’re excited to get down, and get set up.”
