Wrigley announces sale of its online Candystand site to Funtank

Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co. has sold its “adver-gaming” Web site Candystand.com to Funtank, the company today announced.

While the Wrigley branding will remain on the site as a sponsor, Wrigley has turned over its ownership of the site to Funtank, whose sister-company WDDG, has been managed the site since 2005. Funtank has said that it plans to keep Candystand.com as an advertising site, but to grow its gaming potential.

Candystand.com has been a source of candy-themed online gaming and entertainment since 1997.
