It appears that Willy Wonka is just the latest business owner to pack up shop and move his operations to Texas.
It's not quite exactly Wonka himself, but the Canadian chocolate maker Chewters Chocolate is preparing to begin construction on its first ever facility in the United States, which will be right here in North Texas!
According to MySA.com, construction on the $20.5 million facility will begin on January 6 in Rockwall.
Chewters Chocolates CEO Richard Foley said in the 2022 announcement about the company's expansion to Rockwall, "As our business grows in the US, finding a central manufacturing and distribution location that will allow us to effectively service our US customer demand is critical.
"We look forward to breaking ground on this exciting build and working with the greater Rockwall community to bring this chocolate factory to life."
The factory will be located in the 550-acre Rockwall Technology Park, which is also home to facilities for Bimbo Bakeries USA, Pegasus Foods, and more.
