Mars Plans $107M Expansion at Texas Snickers & Skittles Plant
The 28,154-square-foot building would house new mechanical equipment on an undeveloped part of the 50-year-old Waco factory site, with work listed from January 2027 to February 2029.
Mars has registered a $107 million construction project at its Waco candy plant, one of the largest manufacturing filings in Central Texas this fall. Mars Snackfood US LLC filed the project, titled "Mars Snacking Refrigeration Replacement," with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation on Nov. 6. The state record lists an estimated construction cost of $107,022,000 for a new central utility building at 1001 Texas Central Parkway.
According to the filing, the work is new construction of a single-story central utility building of 28,154 square feet. The building would be built on an undeveloped portion of the existing Mars property and would provide space for new mechanical equipment. The scope description in the state record ends mid-sentence, so the full list of systems the building will support is not shown.
