Green Giant Might Be Waving Goodbye To Minn.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- The iconic Jolly Green Giant may soon be moving out of Minnesota.

General Mills isn't commenting publicly on the matter, but a source told Reuters it's looking to sell the widely-recognized brand as early as this summer.

The $700 million business sells more than 150 different frozen and canned vegetable products.

General Mills' sales have been hurting. Earlier this year, the company announced several cost-saving measures.

Green Giant was founded in 1903 in Le Sueur.
