Harry's Chocolate Shop, established in 1919, originated as an ice cream parlor and soda fountain founded by Harry Marack Sr. and H. G. Reisner Deac in West Lafayette, Indiana. Over the years, it transformed into a popular tavern known for being one of the first establishments to serve beer, adapting to the changing regulations and local competition.

In 1977, the ownership transferred to Herschel E. Cook II and J. Michael Murphy, later becoming co-owned by Cook and Mary Traylor Cook. As it marks its 100th anniversary in 2018, Harry's Chocolate Shop continues to be a beloved fixture in the community, with deep ties to Purdue University and the Marack family legacy.
