Red Elephant Chocolate on State Street is closing Sunday, May 27 after three years in business, according to a Facebook post.

Red Elephant Chocolate started in Milwaukee’s Third Ward and opened the location on State Street in 2015. The chocolates are made by hand in small batches.

The Facebook post said Red Elephant will stay in the Madison market through special events, wholesale and internet deliveries. The business is looking for other avenues for retail as well.

“Kindly accept our sincere appreciation for your loyalty and helping us to create memories to carry with us as we pack our ‘trunks.'” the post said.

Red Elephant is also holding a going out of business sale. They are planning to sell and move out all business items. The items can only be purchased while the store is open and must be picked up May 27-31.
