Chicago's Wrigley bought by Mars

packs of wrigley gumJust last week we had Arby's buying up Wendy's and this week, we learn that Mars (maker of M&M's and Snickers) has purchased Wrigley's (maker of Juicy Fruit and Lifesavers). Money-making expert Warren Buffet has his hand in the deal that has brought two of the nation's most storied (and, until now, family-owned) confectionary companies together.

I wonder how the residents of Chicago are feeling, having their long-time gum and candy company purchased and potentially moved. Any comment from the windy city locals?

It probably hurts, but then Dove sold to Mars, what was originally a family owned business started by the friendliest business man I've ever met. Mars has a good history/culture, and it'll probably ease the whole deal.
