A popular chocolate shop in Algonquin has re-located to downtown Huntley after closing its doors along Algonquin Road.

Morkes Chocolate opened on Monday at 11801 Main St. in Huntley and is serving homemade donuts and full coffee service every day along with the chocolate treats that were served for years at its former Algonquin location. The new location also has outdoor patio seating.

Part of the reason owners Claudia and Rick Kendzior of Crystal Lake decided to move to the 5,400-square foot shop, which is located just west of Parkside Pub, is because they are hoping to draw more foot traffic, according to the Daily Herald.

“Being part of a downtown area is really wonderful,” Claudia Kendzior told the Daily Herald. “It was nice that we were able to expand and include the doughnuts and the coffee.”

The business is offering a free donut on Friday, which is National Donut Day, for those who spend $10 on chocolate, according to the Morkes’ Facebook page.

Morkes Chocolates is open Monday through Saturday from 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. and on Sunday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
