History
The name comes from Dove Candies & Ice Cream, which were Chicago-based candy and ice cream shops owned by Leo Stefanos, a Greek-American in 1939.[1] In 1956, Stefanos created the Dove brand of ice cream bars, which were only sold locally throughout Chicago until 1984 when Mike, Leo's son, took the DOVEBAR to the Fancy Foods Show in Washington, D.C., and orders start flooding in from across the country.[2] In 1986, the company was acquired by Mars, Incorporated.[3]
Dove chocolate bars were launched in test markets in the US in 1991.[4]
Beginning in 1960, Dove chocolate was originally sold under the Galaxy brand name in the UK.[5]
Dove-branded products have not been officially sold since the mid-2010s in Australia.[6]
