It is being sold only because of the retirement of it owner/manager. Products include virtually every type of candy imaginable including gourmet homemade chocolates, many homemade fudge varieties, bulk candies, licorice, as well as homemade s’mores (not to be missed). Sales also include gift containers which can be easily shipped for personal and corporate gift giving. B2B sales offer a great growth opportunity. . In addition, ice cream is a major source of revenue as offerings include 32 flavors served in cups and cones. Of course, the menu also includes sundaes, shakes, and smoothies. In the summer, customers use the outdoor seating (enough for 18) to enjoy their ice cream. With the business being located in one of the Chicago’s premier pedestrian shopping areas, there is tremendous walk-in business. About 10 years ago, ownership showed good vision by doubling the size of the store. This has paid off handsomely and will continue to do so for the new owner.
