RICHLAND--Baum's Chocolates is going from Richland to West Richland after 29 years in one spot.

It's not a big move only two miles down the street on Van Giessen.

Owner Rick Vance says the rent and utilities are about the same. But the new location will mean more space, more parking, and an opportunity to expand their distribution.

"The big advantage of moving to West Richland is better exposure from the street. We won't be hidden quite as much as back in this corner,” said Vance.

Baum's new location is where Gesa Credit Union used to be, just east of West Richland City Hall.

The new store will open after Valentine's Day.
