Deep in the heart of the peanut state lies a friendly giant, now celebrating its 50th birthday.
Mars Chocolate North America has been roasting peanuts for brands such as Snickers, M&M’S, Twix and Dove in its Albany, Ga., facility since 1964. The company celebrated its golden anniversary Friday, led by Mars Symbioscience President and Board of Directors member Frank Mars and featuring guests such as Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal, Rep. Sanford Bishop and Albany Mayor Dorothy Hubbard.
