Marathon bars will return to the shelves in Monklands next month

MARS Wrigley has announced that the Marathon bar will be returning to shelves in August after proving to be a smash hit with Monklands shoppers last year.

It was so popular in fact, UK chocolate lovers with a refined taste for nutty nostalgia bought more than four million Marathon bars in just 12-weeks.

Demand for the chocolate treat was so high the retailer Morrisons had to introduce a limit on how many packs a customer could buy.

Hitting stores on August 10, the heritage branding will be available in Morrisons and McColl’s for a limited-time of three months.

For the first time in 30 years the Marathon bar will also be available in a single bar format, which is sure to really satisfy fans of the nougat treat.

David Manzini, General Manager at Mars Wrigley UK said: “At Mars Wrigley we’re all about creating better moments through our sweet treats.

"It’s clear that after nearly 30 years away, people loved the return of the Marathon bar last year.
