This Skittles factory helped shape the economy of a small town.
We are at my childhood home in Yorkville, IL. Yorkville has a Super Target, a lot of diners, corn fields, and not much else except for the Wrigley Factory. Other than the distinctly fruity smell that you get sometimes driving up and down route 47, you don't really know it's there. But the factory's actually really important to Yorkville's economy.When you drive past, you get to smell the scent of whatever gum they're making.
Seventy-five new people in New York might be a drop in the bucket, but 75 new people in Yorkville actually makes a difference. Each time a factory worker grabs lunch at Sunfield's a couple percentage points of sales tax from his cinnamon french toast does go back into the city. But the parent company, Mars, got some pretty sweet tax breaks for building its Skittles factory in Yorkville.
