Sarah’s Candies is gearing up for its grand opening on Monday, May 2, in Chicago O’Hare International’s Terminal 2.
A licensed partner of Hudson Group, the store will sell locally made products scourced from women-owned businesses in the area, including S. Levy Foods founder Sarah Levy Imberman.
“As a woman who started my company from nothing in my mom’s kitchen and who remembers how tough it was in the beginning to sell my products locally and make a name for myself, I wanted to support other women entrepreneurs,” says Imberman. “Being born and raised in Chicago, keeping the products and vendors in my hometown was also important to me to support the community and economy.”
The store will offer handmade chocolate candies made by Imberman and other Chicago confectioners like Veruca Chocolates, Amy’s Candy Bar, Whimsical Candy and Sulpice Chocolat.
“Our partnership with Sarah’s Candies further defines our commitment to Chicago O’Hare International Airport to bring the best brands the city of Chicago has to offer,” says Hudson Group President and CEO Joe DiDomizio. “The quality of Sarah’s Candies, as well as the fine selection of the other confectionery brands, only reinforces our goal to be ‘The Traveler’s Best Friend.’”
The grand opening will include a ribbon-cutting, a cooking demonstration, sampling, giveaways and live music.
