The Hershey Kiss Off: Chocolate Store On Mag Mile Closing After Holidays
(CBS) -- The Hershey's Chocolate emporium in the heart of Chicago's Magnificent Mile is closing, company officials confirmed today.
Hershey's Chocolate World Chicago, which opened in 2005, will remain open through the holiday season before shutting its doors for good sometime in January. Company officials say they are developing "larger scale footprints" in other markets, such as Las Vegas and in New York City.

Hershey's may open another retail store in Chicago eventually, the company said.
