Does anyone know of a good Chicago- or Illinois-based chocolate manufacturer whose quality and variety rivals or exceeds Fannie May (since they no longer are in business)?

Blommer Chocolate comes to mind, primarily because they’re only a few blocks from where I work and some mornings when the wind is right the smell of chocolate from the factory drives me nuts.
I’ve been in their on-site store a few times and they’ve got a pretty good selection at reasonable prices. Unfortunately, they seem to cater mostly to the wholesale trade; I’ve never seen or heard of any other stores in the Chicago area.
