Meet us where luxury and affordable recline
The historic La Grange Theatre has been an important part of downtown La Grange since it opened in 1925.
Back then, the theater was used for live performances. It transitioned to motion pictures in the late 1940s.
Time took its toll on the historic theater, but it is now being fully restored by the theater restoration experts at Classic Cinemas. Today, the theater is open for business with brand new auditoriums that boast wider screens and top-of-the-line technology.
Even better, all auditorium seating comes in the form of luxury heated recliners! On top of that, part of the Classic Cinema experience is free refills on popcorn and fountain drinks.
Lilett’ Candies is open Monday through Friday from 11:30am to 3:30pm. The store is closed Wednesday and Sunday.
Samplers start at about $25 for a variety of chocolates or truffles. Fudgeballs start at about $25 for a one-pound box. The English Toffee also starts at $25 for a one-pound box.
Karen Gula is the owner of Lilett’ Candies. With a long background in fine chocolate and candy making, Gula built her shop into the gourmet candy shop you see today.
Gula studied chocolate and candy making at the Wilton School in Woodridge and built a wholesale chocolate business, which connected her with the chocolate community and the then-owners of the candy shop. She worked with those original owners, Jim and Lillian Manusos, often helping out in the candy kitchen.
She purchased Lilett’ from the Manusos in 2000 and ultimately moved the shop from Brookfield to La Grange.
Lilett’ Candies is located at 104 Calendar Avenue in La Grange. It is steps from the La Grange Road STop on the BNSF Metra Line.
