The corporate offices of Big League Chew are in Rochester, NY.. who knew?!?! Also, production, the actual manufacturing of the gum, is in Akron, NY.. so you're telling me that Big League Chew is a local company and none of us knew that? As it turns out, as Dr. Brian Bailey will explain, its origins are not local, but it has become a local company recently. We'll hear the nostalgic and iconic origin story of Big League Chew as well as the story of Dr. Brian Bailey and how they two eventually intertwine, landing the iconic chewing gum brand in our own backyard.
