About Hershey's Chicago:
Hershey's Chicago, located steps from Michigan Avenue shopping, provides an ideal spot to get your kids to go along with you on a whirlwind tour of the area's numerous boutiques.
"What? Do I hear whining? Better stop or we won't go to the Hershey's Store!"
"Only 13 more stops, then we can go to Hershey's Store, yea!"
But unlike, say, a particular rodent themed pizza parlor, Hershey's Chicago is a reward for mom and dad as well. As if you couldn't figure it out from the name, Hershey's Chicago is filled floor to ceiling with chocolate. As you walk in the door, the delicious aroma nearly knocks you off your feet. Practically all products in the Hershey's candy line are on sale here, as well as higher end organic chocolate and novelty items like a giant hollow Hershey's kiss filled with smaller Kisses.
Besides chocolate, the store also sells a variety of Hershey's branded souvenirs like a plush Kiss, t-shirts, even personalized chocolate bars. In the back, there's a bakery counter with freshly baked cookies, brownies, and cupcakes.
The big attraction for kids is the "chocolate factory", where they get to spin a bunch of wheels and push a button and have their buckets "magically" filled with Hershey's miniature chocolate bars, enough to last them for weeks. Well, unless they're like my kids, then you might be looking at only a couple of hours.
