The Candy Hall of Fame Experience is coming to the Magnificent Mile.
It will take up three floors at 830 North Michigan Avenue.
Chicago beat out Orlando and New York in part because it has such a long history with some of the most iconic names in American candy, including Ferrara, Mars, Brach's, Tootsie and Wrigley.
"For more than a century, Chicago has been home to some of the most iconic names in American candy, including Ferrara, Mars, Brach's, Tootsie and Wrigley. Even Milton Hershey found his chocolate inspiration in Chicago at the 1893 World's Fair," said Shelly Clarey, Chairman of the NCSA. "Establishing the Candy Hall of Fame Experience here reflects the city's deep connection to the industry and creates a home to celebrate the people who helped build it."
The 60,000 square foot experience will open next year.
