Longtime candy maker closing plant, cutting jobs
After more than 75 years in Round Lake, Farley's & Sather's Candy Company is closing its southwestern Minnesota headquarters. Up to 100 jobs at the plant will be phased out starting this summer and continue through the spring of next year. Last month, the Minnesota-based candy maker announced it had agreed to merge with Ferrara Pan Candy in suburban Chicago. The new headquarters will be based in Illinois.
