The South Bend Chocolate Company was established in 1991 by Mark Tarner, a second generation chocolate maker.[1][2] Along with a chocolate factory, the company has retail stores in the South Bend, Indiana regional area as well as Indianapolis and Ohio.[3][4] The company's flagship store, the South Bend Chocolate Cafe located on 122 S. Michigan St., is billed as the "World's Largest Chocolate Store" and has been credited with contributing to South Bend's downtown revival.[5][6][7] The company is expanding its operations to the west side of South Bend with a new factory and dinosaur museum set to open in 2024 at 7102 Lincolnway W.[8][9]
