Wrigley Sale To Mars Now Official

The long-announced sale of Wm. Wrigley Corporation to Mars, Inc. (with a greasing of the skids courtesy of Warren Buffet and the fine folks at Berkshire Hathaway) was approved by shareholders during a special morning meeting at Chase Auditorium. The deal, in which Wrigley becomes a standalone company within the Mars empire, makes Mars the largest candy company in the world. [Sun-Times]

Oh get the fcuk out of here!! A gum company selling it to a candy company?

"Welcome to beautiful Confectionary Field, home of the M&M Cubs...

I am anxious with the possibility of Wrigley being called "Mars Park".

"Going to Mars" would be an accurate experience for watching a Cubs game.

You guys do know that Wrigley sold the Cubs and Wrigley Field to the Tribune like decades ago, right??? I hope you know that and were just joking.

@Bee. No harm in wishing. LOL. Thanks for the reminder though ;)
