Chicago chocolate company considering move to Portage

A nearly 85-year-old chocolate company based in Chicago could potentially move manufacturing operations to Portage. Our partners at The Times of Northwest Indiana report World's Finest Chocolate has optioned land in the Porter County city, though no concrete plans have been made.

World's Finest Chocolate makes a variety of candy bars for fundraising campaigns, raising more than $150 million annually, according to the company's website. It also produces the Queen Anne Cordial treat.

Spokesperson Jennifer Taylor told The Times the company has a three-year option on land and is in the "very beginning stages of looking at possibly moving there." However, she said, "Nothing is set in stone yet."
