Frango Mints Return to Chicago
Production of Frango Mints, the candy mascot for Marshall Field's, will be returning to Chicago, according to today's Sun-Times. The mints have been produced in a Pennsylvania factory since 1999, but will now be manufactured by Cupid Candies, a south-side factory that is already familiar with chocolate-covered mints. The change was promised by Macy's Chairman and CEO Terry Lundgren in 2005 when the New York-based retailer took over the Field's chain and discontinued the department store's name and branding.
