Wrigley was named for William Wrigley Jr., the Cubs owner at the time, not the Wrigley Company. He did own both obviously, but the naming wasn’t a promotional thing. I have no qualms about Sears and John Hancock being corporate names since those companies built those landmarks, they earned the credit and they were the ones who showed the audacity to build them.
Before I moved to Denver in 1966, there was a tollway from Denver to Boulder; the Boulder Turnpike. The toll was removed prior to 1966 and the road (now US36) is STILL known as the turnpike.
