 The Arco Company was founded in May 2005 by Jim and Cyndi Ragon.


Their Flagship Store, The Chocolate Crocodile®, is one of the fastest growing stores in Louisiana. Jim and Cyndi chose the picturesque shores of the Red River in Bossier City because of its great weather, serene surroundings and fun outdoor activities. It is a place where people can go to indulge themselves in all that is good about life like Chocolate, Chocolate, Chocolate!



The Chocolate Crocodile ®will lead the way for the ARCO Company's signature delicacies. We begin each morning cooking our own fresh homemade caramel. This mouth watering delight is central to the numerous varieties of Caramel Apples, Chocolate Crocodile Claws and the ever sought after Crocodile Nest.



Try the Monster Croc, a large juicy apple covered in homemade caramel, dipped in milk chocolate and smothered with crunchy nuts. Or for the more simple approach have your caramel individually wrapped with no distractions. If you’re seeking a more refined way of partaking of your chocolate enjoy milk chocolate strawberries drizzled with an attractive array of dark chocolate. This delight is so beautiful you´ll think it is a work of art ... but go ahead and eat it anyway.
