Ferrara Candy Confirms Relocation to Old Post Office

Looks like the renovated post office is getting a second corporate tenant (via Chicago Tribune):

Ferrara Candy Co. will relocate its corporate headquarters to Chicago's Old Post Office from Oakbrook Terrace next summer, bringing almost 400 jobs to the massive structure straddling Congress Parkway.

Ferrara has a little more than 300 office employees now, with plans to expand to about 400 in the new space, where it will move by late next summer, Ferrara CEO Todd Siwak said. The move downtown, to an open and collaborative layout, will help the company recruit and retain talent, he said.

“It provides us the opportunity to create the space employees have asked for, with the necessary flexibility to expand as our business continues to expand,” he said.

A good get for the post office!
