Darrell Lea Chocolates all began with a fellow by the name
of Harry Lea who mastered the art of confectionery making
in Perth, Western Australia. Harry's first creation was
Bulgarian Rock which was sold in his first shop - a simple
street pushcart and barrow.
Harry moved to Sydney and established a fruit and vegetable shop in Manly's
Corso. As the Great Depression approached and business dwindled, Harry and
his family started to cook Bulgarian Rock at night to make a few extra pennies.
It was an instant hit! Other goodies were devised and soon the fruit and
vegetables disappeared so more space could be devoted to Harry's sweet
delights
In 1927 the first real confectionery shop was
opened in Sydney's Haymarket - a milk
bar/confectionery shop at the front and a kitchen
out the back. The Great Depression of the 1930's
saw a shirt shop become vacant in Pitt Street.
Racking used previously for shirts was soon filled
with freshly made chocolates and confectionery.
(This format was used until recently when a new
timber look was adopted for our shops). On most
days the shop sold out by early afternoon and had
to be shut - so the Lea family could get cooking
for the next day! Success led to other Darrell Lea
shops opening along Pitt Street and an enlarged
kitchen was soon opened under the first arch of
the Sydney Harbour Bridge - 1 York Street.
First by horse and cart, and later by Model T Ford truck, confections were
delivered twice a day to each of the shops. Fresh product was the priority! The
Darrell Lea reputation spread. In 1940, two of Harry's sons, Monty and Harris,
opened a similar manufacturing operation in Melbourne with a number of shops in
the city. the Swanston Street and Bourke Street shops are still going strong
today. Monty's son, Jason, helped open the Hobart shop in 1956 within the
Fitzgerald Department Store. In 1966 Maurice Lea opened five shops in Brisbane
to which he personally delivered fresh stock every day until his retirement at the
ripe old age of 90 years, the same year an Adelaide shop was opened by Harry's
grandson, Robert Lea. Business continued to prosper, and large kitchens were
established in Kogarah, the site of the current manufacturing facility. On October
30, 1980, a disastrous fire destroyed 90% of the manufacturing facilities at
Kogarah. By 1982 the factory was rebuilt and equipped with new, modern
machinery.
Members of the Lea family lived on the premises for many years continuing the
tradition of "make today - sell tomorrow". This tradition is still maintained today.
Monty lives on the factory site and oversees the operation seven days a week. A
big proportion of confectionery is packed daily at each Darrell Lea shop to ensure
the continuation of the "fresh is best" philosophy, established in the 1920's. An
Australian icon, Darrell Lea is one of Australia's few remaining national treasures
still 100% Australian owned. Employing upward of 1,000 people at peak times of
the year, Darrell Lea is proud to serve fresh confectionery to over 14 million
customers each year. Darrell Lea is a testament to the fact that quality never
goes out of style!
