Food industry titan Mars, Inc. is making a bullish move in both the U.S. candy market and the Windy City.
Mars will combine its chocolate business (which produces iconic brands such as Snickers, M&M's and Twix) with the company's candy subsidiary Wrigley (maker of Skittles, Starburst, and Orbit gum). The newly formed combined division will be headquartered in Chicago and will be called Mars Wrigley Confectionery.
