Anderson’s Gourmet Chocolate Business Expands
Crystal Lake, IL – Anderson’s Candy Shop is expanding its gourmet chocolate business as a fourth generation of candy lovers brings fresh ideas to the nearly 100-year-old family-owned company.
The Anderson family opened a new store Saturday at 218 W. Main St. in Barrington. The venture is a partnership with the Barrington Area Historical Society and the Barrington History Museum. The candy shop uses a small portion of one of the society’s homes and also serves as the point of purchase for the museum’s gift shop.
Over the decades, the family has tried to grow several times. Some attempts were successful, others never got off the ground.
