Summary
Mars Snacking said it will shut its Newark Market Hub by December 2027, with 307 employees affected under a July WARN filing that lists Oct. 16, 2026 as the effective date.
The company tied the closure to a broader consolidation of its North American office footprint and its previously announced move to Chicago, saying the shift is meant to support long-term growth.
Mars said it will offer relocation opportunities and other transition support for Newark staff, while maintaining service to customers and consumers without disruption.
New Jersey remains part of Mars' plans, the company said, pointing to continued investment in Hackettstown, where M&M'S have been produced since 1958 and millions are made daily.
