The Blommer Chocolate Co. will close its factory in the heart of Chicago at the end of May due to increasing costs of running its aging facility at 600 W. Kinzie St., the company announced on Friday. The factory known for wafting mouth-watering chocolate aroma across downtown Chicago opened in 1939 and is Blommer’s original manufacturing plant. https://chicago.suntimes.com/money/2024/03/22/blommer-chocolate-close-chicago-factory
