Chicago's famous Frango chocolate brand is being sold to the city's most famous popcorn company. Department store chain Macy's Inc. announced it's selling Frango mints to Chicago-based Garrett Brands. Macy's will still sell Frango chocolates at its locations across the country.
The chocolates were a signature brand of Chicago's Marshall Field's department store, which Federal Department Stores purchased in 2005 and converted to Macy's. Frango has been around for more than a century and has roots in Chicago and Seattle.
Garrett Brands plans to expand the reach and offerings of Frango mints. But Garrett Popcorn Shops won't sell Frango products.
