I never made the connection
HERSHEY, PA
In addition to our corporate offices, two manufacturing plants are located in Hershey, Pennsylvania. West Hershey plant opened in 2012 and produces more than 70 million Hershey’s Kisses Milk Chocolates a day!
The facility also manufactures Hershey’s Milk Chocolate bars, Hershey’s Milk Chocolate with Almonds bars and Hershey’s Syrup. Just across Old Chocolate Avenue, the smell of roasted peanuts often fills the air around the Reese factory where Reese’s products have been produced for over 60 years.
A million is a lot
Fun fact of today

I spent some time on a contract with the U.S. Navy Submarine Supply Depot near Mechanicsburg Penn. I stayed at a motel in the countryside outside of Hershey. It was summer, the fields were full of fireflies at night . Beautiful place. I did several aviation related classes at Ft. Indian Town Gap PA. It's about 20 miles from Hershey. I don't like how close the town are to each other in that part of the State, but PA is a beautiful state. Coming from rural Iowa where towns are 10 to 15 miles apart it's odd to see 2 towns separated by one street and the next town down is across the street from another town. All of the houses are old and there is no room in between the houses. It reminded me of the west side of San Antonio except the kids in the yards are white and black but not Mexican. Hershey is a nice town with a clean down town and clean streets. At least it was 20 years ago. kwg Still is clean. FTIG and Hershey are 13 miles apart

I hauled lots of Hershey products from the Oakdale CA plant back in the late 1970s. The driver's lounge was stocked with every kind of Hershey product- - - -"Eat all you want but don't put anything in your pockets". They wouldn't let a driver stay on the loading dock at all- - - -loaded the trailers and sealed them, with Hershey employees. Employees there also had an interesting probationary period- - - - -"Eat all you want for the first 30 days, then leave it alone!" None of the people I talked to there made it to 30 days- - - -they got burned out in less than two weeks! Went there for school field trips in the 70's and as a chaperone for my kids school class in the 90's. Too bad they shut it down and moved the plant Messico. Once again this never happened

Mars bars are made on Mars? Don't know about that but...... More Clark bars are consumed in Clarksvegas than Chattanooga has choo choos.

Thanks john No. No they aren't. Offshore like everydamthing. It’s from their website. They have several plants yes. But I dont just post dumb shît from Nana’s email chain like other TARDS on here. Passing on uncited and unsubstantiated info. 🤙⭐️⭐️ https://www.thehersheycompany.com/en_us/home/about-us/the-company/plant-locations.htmlSorry! They closed their big plant there several years ago, eliminated jobs, moved production. I know a lot of trucking and milk production was affected. Ass u med they were done there. Hershey Pa exists due to M Hershey. He was an extraordinary man for his(or any) time. Modern business blows smoke about “Associates”, Family, the importance of their employees. Mr. Hershey showed it.

Mike, they didn’t close the old plant and eliminate jobs several years ago?
Or did they, then build a new one later.

Also one who went there for field trips, nice amusement park, our HS basketball state finals, etc. and tried to visit the plant tour "assembly line" every time. Reach in a pick up a small handful.
Nice resort type hotel, town as clean as a whistle, lovely countryside - some visitors from crappy places find it difficult to fathom. In addition to his other good works, MH started and funded that excellent school for boys.

Better than Albuquerque "kisses"...
I reckon. And what if they were made in San Francisco? I'm sure they would be shaped differently.

Hersey fired thousands of it's employees company wide and the labor cost at it's Messico Plant at the time was a small fraction of labor in the US. Same Globalist BS rinse and repeat. Would Milton have done the same thing given the times? Probably, guy was a ruthless industrialist.

Or did they, then build a new one later. Yes but they had a new larger plant already built.

That would have happened even if they had remained on Chocolate Avenue. The new factory is within walking distance

I grew up in Oakdale Ca. They shut the plant down while I was in elementary school. Seemed like every class had at least 4-5 kids whose parents worked for Hersey. Valentine’s Day and Halloween were fun class holiday parties. I always knew when dad was going duck hunting because on a good south wind you could smell chocolate at our school.
When they shut the plant down it was a huge blow to the city. Our population was around 12-13k. Lots of kids moved out of school. I think they’ve had a few different candy companies move into the space.
