Macy's closes basement candy counter at State Street store
CHICAGO (CBS) -- A sweet era has ended at the iconic Macy's Chicago flagship store on State Street.
The candy counter in the basement of Macy's at 111 N. State St., formerly Marshall Field's, was a one-stop shop for all customers' candy needs – until now.
The candy department – decorated in colored tiles of red, yellow, green, and blue – closed last week. Macy's posted a sign that read, "We are honored by your years of loyalty, trusting us to bring you, your friends, and family the crave-able confections we all enjoy!"
The company has not said why they closed the candy counter.
However, Macy's said they will still be selling the famous Frango mint chocolates throughout the building.
The sign announcing the closure of the basement candy department also encouraged customers to visit It'Sugar--a candy retailer that opened a space on the first floor of Macy's this past fall.
