Competitive Landscape
Mars Wrigley Secures Enduring Loyalty with Pk and Juicy Fruit
Mars Wrigley's strength is rooted in the exceptional brand strength of PK and Juicy Fruit, which have become household names across Uganda. PK is so ingrained in local culture that its name is frequently used as a generic term for chewing gum, especially among adults seeking fresh breath and confidence, while Juicy Fruit appeals strongly to children and teenagers with its familiar, sweet flavour.
