Emil J. Brach was positioned perfectly to take advantage of these trends when he opened Brach’s Palace of Sweets in the fall of 1904. Located at North Avenue and Towne Street, between Halsted Street and Larrabee Street, the store occupied a typical retail footprint, measuring only 18 feet wide by 65 feet deep. A partition separated the front store, with a candy counter and ice cream parlor, from the rear space that was used for making candy and ice cream.
