Our History


Founded in 1946, Chicago Display got its start by helping the Hostess Twinkie become a household brand name.

As our first project, CDM was tasked with enabling Hostess to offer the Twinkie year-round instead of only when bananas were in season. CDM developed new merchandising displays and techniques to boost sales throughout the year and the rest is history!

We’ve learned that successful projects are the result of a clear vision and collaborative approach. It is a core philosophy that has enabled some of our partnerships for over 70 years.
