Roads are open!! It’s smooth driving on Superior Street with paving completed. Bumpy & dusty on Wisconsin Avenue, but open from Richmond to Union Streets. Your journey for chocolate just got easier.

WHEEEEE! are so excited… Wisconsin Avenue is open between Richmond and Union Streets. Much easier to get to us than anytime during the last two months. And better yet, Friday the crews plan to pave Superior Street. By next Monday all roads to Wilmar may be OPEN.

Things are looking up!!! We are told by the powers that be…DEPENDING ON THE WEATHER, construction on our end of Wisconsin Avenue may be wrapping up this week. Superior Street has the same optimistic prognosis. We’ll keep you posted (fingers crossed and all that). North Oneida Street is now open, so that makes getting to us lots easier from the north. Keep you eyes peeled for our signs, directing you to your favorite CHOCOLATE.

We’re open!!! Though all roads usually lead to Wilmar, there are many exceptions this week. Wisconsin Avenue is open between Division and Meade Streets, but closed from near Richmond up to Division Street. Superior Street south of us is closed, as is north Oneida near Northland Ave. We have signs off of Richmond (at Brewster and Summer Streets) to guide you around the Wisconsin Avenue construction. Coming from the other directions, just get to Wisconsin Avenue and you’ll be able to find us. Our west parking lot is open, enter from Wisconsin Avenue. See you there!

Hopefully all the road work will be completed when we reopen on August 2. We will update you on the parking and road status toward the end of the month. Happy July to all.

Superior St will be graded today and our parking lots are blocked, so follow our signs up Appleton St or Clark St (from the south) or Superior St (from the north) and we’ll get you as close to us as we can.

Look for signs as you’re circling us… they will help to guide you. Superior St, south of Wisconsin Ave is usable but rough (come to us off of Summer St). Superior St, north of Wisconsin Ave is paved, but you must park and walk across Wisconsin Ave to get to us… which may or may not have big equipment activity. For more detailed route guiding, call us @ 733-6182.

There is easier access to our shop today…. no construction guys in sight. Superior St. though rough, is usable, and Wisconsin Ave. is deserted.

It’s going to be difficult (maybe impossible) to get to our parking lots on Friday, June 25. We are suggesting parking on Superior Street (north of Wisconsin Avenue), or on Clark Street or Appleton Street (south of Wisconsin Avenue). You’ll have to walk a bit… but we’ll be sure to have a sample waiting for you!
