State & Madison - A Legendary Corner!

---

For generations, the intersection of State and Madison has been a defining crossroads of Chicago. In the early 1900s, it was officially measured as the city’s zero-zero point, the center from which all addresses in Chicago were calculated. Streetcars rumbled past grand department stores, and millions of people passed through each year. Whether commuting, shopping, or sightseeing, State and Madison was where life in the Loop converged. It became not just a location but a landmark, a place where Chicago came alive.

One North State Street has played a central role in Chicago’s retail legacy. Originally home to Mandel Brothers Department Store, one of the city’s oldest and most distinguished retailers, this address stood as a symbol of elegance, fashion, and innovation. Opened in the late 1800s, the building attracted generations of shoppers with its grand displays and bustling energy. As the Loop evolved, so did One North State, hosting a variety of department stores and commercial ventures. Today, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory is proud to continue the tradition of delight and discovery at this legendary address.
