How did Joseph Fry set up his company?

Joseph Fry established his company, Fry's Chocolate, in 1759 by initially selling cocoa and chocolate products. He later expanded his business by acquiring the family’s chocolate factory in Bristol, England. Fry innovated the chocolate-making process by introducing a method to mix cocoa powder with sugar and cocoa butter, creating a smoother chocolate. This innovation helped his company grow significantly, making it one of the first to produce solid chocolate bars.
