🌟 Is a Giant Picnic Basket Real? A Guide to the "Basket Building" in Newark, Ohio❗ 🌟 📍 Address 1500 E Main St, Newark, OH 43055, USA 🚗 Transportation Approx. a 1-hour drive from Columbus. Navigate to "Longaberger Basket Building." --- 🔥 Reasons to Visit ✅ Mind-blowing Exterior: The world's most "delicious" building!

Whether it's the lawn, the street corner, or an upward shot, every photo is a winner, with a 100% success rate❗ ✅ Legendary Business Story: Formerly the headquarters of Longaberger, an American basket giant, it once housed 500 employees at its peak.
