Chip's Chocolate Factory Signs On for 7 More Years at Crown Center

Chip's Chocolate Factory, one of the most longstanding and visited shops at Crown Center, has signed a deal to remain at the shopping center for the next seven years.

Mike Herman owns the store on Level 2 of the Crown Center Shops. It originated at Crown Center as Kansas City Fudge in 1983 and is well known for its marble tables, copper kettles and daily fudge-making displays. The store is scheduled to get some national attention later this month, when it's featured on Food Network's "Kid in a Candy Store" program.

"Chip's has been an important part of Crown Center for more than 25 years," said Bill Lucas, president of Crown Center Redevelopment Corp. "We're very excited to know that Mike and his team will be throwing fudge here for years to come."

Celebrating 27 Years

Since June of 1983, sweet-tooth's from all over the globe have been treated to a truly unique and special experience in "chocology". We hand-make every batch of our famous Kansas City FudgeTM using techniques that were developed over 100 years ago when the confection known as "fudge" was first discovered. Our beautiful marble tables and copper kettles are original to when we opened for business, and stand as a silent but unwavering committment to use the finest techniques and the freshest ingredients.

Our 27 year evolution into a nationally (and internationally!) known premium confectionery company has provided us with priceless knowledge and experience in hand-crafting the most tempting goodies you'll find in Kansas City. We offer over 45 flavors of our irresistable fudge and over 200 hand-made chocolate confections made with premium imported Swiss Chocolate. We also carry a broad selection of delectable hand-made Swiss truffles and pralines from the very best chocolatiers in Switzerland. We make our own cotton candy, carry over 14 flavors of sugar-free candy, have all 21 colors of M&Ms in a giant M&M machine, and offer a delicious selection of bagged candy; all of which means that there's something here for everyone!
