About Salt Creek Chocolates & Guns

Handmade gourmet chocolates and quality firearms, proudly located on America’s Largest Downtown Square. Salt Creek Chocolates & Guns is not your typical storefront, and that’s exactly the point.

Today, Salt Creek Chocolates & Guns brings together two worlds that rarely meet: artisan chocolates and responsible firearm education. The result is an experience that is equal parts welcoming, educational, and memorable

Salt Creek Chocolates & Guns

Founded in 2025 by Tom “Doc” Lewis, Robert Sides, and Dan Ferris the business grew out of their long-standing work in the firearms industry through Salt Creek Shooting School. What began as a passion for teaching firearm safety and self-defense eventually evolved into something entirely unexpected: a handcrafted chocolate shop. What started as a hobby quickly turned into a thriving business and one of the most distinctive retail concepts in the country.

A One-of-a-Kind Experience

At its core, Salt Creek is about people. Customers walk in for one thing and often leave with something completely different, whether that’s handcrafted chocolate, firearm training, or simply a great conversation. The shop has become known for its relaxed, friendly atmosphere where everyone feels at home.

Visitors from across the country and even around the world are drawn to the concept’s novelty, but they stay for the experience. From sampling chocolate to learning about firearm safety, there truly is something for everyone.

Handcrafted Artisan Chocolate

Every piece of chocolate is made by hand using high-quality couverture chocolate, primarily sourced from Swiss producers. Inspired and mentored by renowned chocolatier Kevin Wenzel, “Doc” has developed a line of artisan chocolates focused on flavor, creativity, and craftsmanship.

From classic favorites to bold and unique flavor combinations, each piece is crafted with care. Customers are encouraged to taste before they buy, because at Salt Creek, chocolate is meant to be experienced, not just purchased.

Firearms Education & Training

On the firearms side, Salt Creek is rooted in education, safety, and confidence. With nearly a decade of experience through Salt Creek Shooting School, the team offers:

License to Carry (LTC) classes

Firearm safety training

Self-defense courses

Hands-on guidance for new and experienced gun owners

The goal is simple: to help people feel comfortable, knowledgeable, and safe. The team believes firearms should never be intimidating when handled with proper education and respect.

Built on Partnership & Passion

Salt Creek Chocolates & Guns is powered by a team of partners who each bring something unique to the table. “Doc” focuses on chocolates-making, while his partners lead firearm operations, training, and gunsmithing. Together, they’ve built a business rooted in friendship, shared passion, and a commitment to serving their community.

More Than a Store

Salt Creek Chocolates & Guns isn’t just a place to shop, it’s a place to connect, learn, and experience something different.

Whether you’re stopping in for handcrafted chocolates, professional firearm training, or just a conversation, you’ll leave with more than you came for.
