The reaction might have been substantial for Mars as well, if not for the…

Cahillane…

CEO John McGuckin said the snack maker’s sales could reach $500 million as it increases household penetration and persuades retailers to stock more of its products. With Clio’s refrigerated bar posting an annual compound growth rate of 50%, CEO John McGuckin could be forgiven for feeling optimistic. However, the former Sabra hummus executive is not resting on his laurels. “The product was always ahead of its time,” McGuckin said in an interview discussing the chocolate-covered yogurt bar. “Even though we’ve had some remarkable success, there’s a long way to go” to build awareness and market penetration.
