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.
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.
Grew up about 15 minutes from the old plant in what was a pretty rural area prior to the suburban sprawl of the last 20 or so years. Absolutely true that if the wind was right you could smell it. Know a bunch of retirees from there who seem to be doing good, dont know if thats still true for the current workers.
They had a big plant here in Oakdale,Ca for quite a few years….. Hershey closed after Clinton signed NAFTA and moved to Mexico…..it ruined a lot of people’s lives in town.
Mustn’t forget Hershey Park either. Big place, but I ain’t been there for a decade. I think that wooden coaster of theirs is the oldest in the world or something. I don’t remember for sure. Almost afraid to ask what tickets run now!😟 Reon
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!

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. 🤙⭐️⭐️

Ditto. Over the years, going hunting, I always put a couple Hershey bars with almonds and a sandwich in my day pack. Mighty good noon lunch when I was cold and hungry.

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.

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.

Was nice when I last visited a couple years back. I prefer my side of the state and not so many people with many miles of gorge all to myself but I digress.
Place is tight community housing because it was one of the first planned communities in the U.S. so the history states anyway. Milton planned the entire town as a failed 30 something before he got famous for milk chocolate. Held mortgages for all employees and what not. Town is basically a big museum to him now. My kids love it and while I’m not the suburbia type it’s sorta a time capsule back to the 50’s which I really liked. Couldn’t live so close to neighbors but I get the draw of the place.

Hey Slum, if you hang around the Hershey plant, you just might get a Kiss yet !!
They had a big plant here in Oakdale,Ca for quite a few years….. Hershey closed after Clinton signed NAFTA and moved to Mexico…..it ruined a lot of people’s lives in town.
No they didn't. Hershey opened a plant in Mexico and then built an even bigger plant in Hershey. It's called expansion

Sorry! 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.
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.

Once again this never happened
Gots us a real Chocopologist I see.
Know several families that were affected by the firings.
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.

Not exactly true. They cut 500 jobs because of new automation taking the place of workers. That would have happened even if they had remained on Chocolate Avenue. The new factory is within walking distance

It is true….We were talking about the plant in Oakdale,Ca….Pay attention ….Try to keep up.
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.
