Malley's Chocolates!- Megan Gillum CEO/President (Ep. 58)

Founded in 1935 during the Great Depression, Malley's Chocolates has grown from a single Lakewood chocolate shop into one of Northeast Ohio's most recognizable confectioners, with 18 retail locations and a 60,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Cleveland. The family-owned company has built its reputation on handcrafted chocolates, ice cream, and a nostalgic retail experience while remaining deeply rooted in the community. In 2026, Malley's appointed Megan Gillum as its first non-family president, marking a new chapter in the company's 90-year history. Gillum will lead Malley's continued growth, innovation, and community partnerships while preserving the traditions and customer experience that have defined the brand for generations. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heartland-newsfeed-podcast-network--6051130/support.
