Mars Retail Group announces it signed Mad Engine Inc. as a new licensee to produce a wide range of apparel that will express the colorful fun of the M&M’S and SKITTLES Brands. Available at a variety of price points, the unique items for men, women and teens will include long- and short-sleeve t-shirts, fashion knit tops, outerwear, fleece and hoodies.

For retailers, the new apparel can serve as an attention-grabbing focal point in a Back-to-College endcap or a Holiday display.

“Retailers are looking for strategic ways to gain shopper interest and increase sales, and we know that a display incorporating M&M’S Brand Candies and licensed merchandise will boost sales while adding excitement to the aisle,” explains John Capizzi, general manager of licensing for Mars Retail Group. “We’re proud to offer retailers quality apparel from industry leader Mad Engine. Pairing their quality and ingenuity with the strength of Mars’ iconic brands, we’ll deliver strong results to retailers looking to offer a unique shopping experience.”
