Nice Economy Conehead

Yet another mostly successful company relocates out of Chicago:

• Ferrara Candy Co. will shutter its Little Village manufacturing plant and lay off more than 150 employees in April.

  The company announced plans to close its 31st Street facility in April 2027, citing “market conditions and our long-term innovation road map.”

  Officials notified 154 employees and the state last week and said they plan to shift production to other facilities. The plant is at 2945 W. 31st St.

Ferrara has four other factory locations in the area, but they're only closing the Chicago plant, because Conehead continues to make it difficult (if not impossible) to stay in business in Chicago.
