History[]

Dove Milk Chocolate Miniatures with a "Promises" message

The name comes from Dove Candies & Ice Cream, which were Chicago-based candy and ice cream shops owned by Leo Stefanos, a Greek-American in 1939. In 1956, Stefanos created the Dove brand of ice cream bars, which were only sold locally throughout Chicago until 1985 when distribution began in selected cities around the country.[1] Dove was introduced to the UK as Galaxy in 1960. In 1986, the company was acquired by Mars, Incorporated.[2]
