Uranus #3
is Open!
The Mayor of Uranus is excited to open our newest location of Uranus Fudge Factory and General Store in Richmond, Indiana, Exit 156b off I-70!
It's time to spread Uranus even wider!
The History of Uranus
We opened the original Uranus Fudge Factory and General Store in Missouri in 2015.
After several years of successfully packing the fudge of milions of our citizens, Uranus expanded our #2 into Anderson, Indiana in 2022....at exit 222.2.....on 1-69, no less. (By the way, the #2 is very important in Uranus)
In 2023, we were lucky to find a fabulous new location in Richmond, Indiana/Cedar Springs, Ohio (the property is in both states) on National Road 40 and Interstate 70, Exit 156b. We are officially open to the public on Friday, December 20, 2024 at 10 am.
Our Richmond location will be the largest to date with 15,000 square feet in our main building and we've crammed a lot in Uranus. We are serving up 18 flavors of The Best Fudge on the planet, our 32 flavors of Homade Uranus Ice Cream Co. Super Premium Ice Cream (plus reduced sugar & lactose free options), Chocolates, Candies, and humorous gifts. Explore everything Uranus has to offer with unique attractions including the Uranus Vortex Tunnel, Uranus bi-plane, animated dinosaurs, and our mural...just to name a few. Stop on by to get your fudge packed and discover Uranus!
Store hours: Sunday - Monday, 10 am - 5 pm EST
Future plans for #3 location will include up to 10 fuel pumps / 20 stations, an art sculpture garden, and additional family-oriented attractions.

Some FAQS we know are coming!
How Many People Will We Employ to Fully Staff Uranus
By the end of 2024, we will employ approximately 100 crew members. throughout Uranus #3 in Richmond, bringing our total number of fudge packers to almost 250 in all 3 locations
We offer very competive wages and benefits for all the staff in Uranus, this includes heath care, dental/vision, matching 401K, vacation and sick days.
What New Business will Uranus bring to Wayne and Preble Counties?
We are starting with our world famous Fudge Factory and General Store, Ice Cream Shoppe and, for the first time, Fuel.
We are purchasing a few of the buildings of the former New Creations School including the large church building, house and dormitories and approx 6 acres on the Ohio side, as well.
No, we did not buy the entire property, nor all the buildings. We purchased what we needed.
Yes, the Cross is in the purchase agreement.
We are also moving our online/wholesale distribution facility from Missouri to our new location in the future.
In our #2 location (Anderson, Indiana) we have a new, seasonally-opened Mini-Golf course, similar to our one in our #1 location in Missouri.

Yes, we know that one closed in Richmond not too long ago, so we might build one at this location in the future as well.
Also in Missouri, we are currently building a couple new visitor "experiences" including the Uranus Mining Co and a top-secret creation called "Uranus City Hall".
And we are in the final design stages for two new food concepts we will be building starting in 2025 -- The Uranus Fried Chicken Co. and The Uranus Coffee Co.
At our #2, the Mayor can't decide between "Weiners, Weiners, Weiners" or "The Uranus Sausage Co." for the name of that new eatery in Uranus LOL.
We will wait a couple of years before we add a lot of things as we need to learn what the local citizens are wanting us to build
We will also bring in and build some very eye catching attractions that will bring in lots of visitors. Our main sign in Missouri has 1,920 feet of neon, as an example.
What will you do with the Cross
We plan to clean up and restore the area around it, re-light it and then give all the praise and glory to God and his son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
We are also leaving all of the bricks everyone bought to help build the Cross.
The very "odd" wood statue by the cross is coming inside so it doesn't rot away !
