South Bend-based Claeys Candy plans to leave its longtime home south of downtown and build a modern $8 million production facility in the Blackthorn area.
Company President Gregg Claeys said his grandfather, Jerome Claeys, founded the company in 1919 in two rented garages on North Blaine Avenue on the cityâs northwest side. Since then it has moved into three other buildings, and has operated since 1941 from 525 S. Taylor St., which is roughly behind home plate at Four Winds Field.
The company makes peanut brittle, fudge, and around the Christmas holiday season, Chocolate Charlie, which blends chocolate, peanuts and marshmallow into a local favorite. But during the COVID-19 pandemic, its hard candy sales have taken off, its orders backlogged 20 weeks, Claeys said.

ALBION â The Noble County Council made what it hopes is a rare exception to its tax abatement rules Monday, allowing a rural Kendallville company to claim a tax break despite running afoul of the countyâs guidelines.
KSN Kammerer LLC had been seeking a $700,000 five-year tax abatement on a 20,000-square foot addition.
The company had already begun construction before going to the council. Current rules set by the council allow an abatement on new construction only if the company has not yet broken ground on the project.
âThey did not know about the abatement process,â said Matt Brinkman, of Region III-A.
The board of the local hospital system intends to hear an update tonight on what has been proposed as the largest solar farm ever planned for Hunt County.
