M&M's World in Times Square is New York City's largest candy store, and offers merchandise such as themed clothing, dishware, watches, and piggy banks. Before it opened in 2006, nearly 13,000 people lined up for the 198 jobs, which were in demand because of a more generous health benefit package than is usually offered for an entry-level retail job in New York.<ref>Kadushin, Peter.

Also on display are M&M's in nearly every color, and a NASCAR Cup Series show car with M&M's branding; the car was previously designed to resemble Kyle Busch's No. 18 M&M's car until Mars, Incorporated ended its sponsorship. M&M's clothing is sold on the second floor and on the stairs that go up to the second floor are pictures showing how the M&M's characters have evolved over the years painted on the wall.
The Las Vegas location received eight million visitors in 2007.[1]
