Close Menu. It was upsetting to see the old factory destroyed. Of the 25 buildings that comprised the old factory, twenty were demolished. Five are currently being re-purposed as office space. Production ceased in January , but most of the buildings had not been used for years, and were in very poor condition. Hershey stopped smelling of chocolate the day production was stopped. Most of the production was shifted to the recently expanded West Hershey plant - originally built in - not Mexico.
Employees were given the option of early retirement, and those with seniority could choose to work at the West Hershey plant. Those with less than 15 years service were simply let go. Hershey does produce chocolate and other confections around the world, and has for decades. There were several buildings that could have been saved - buildings 24, 25, 34, and the Engineering Building were well-built reinforced concrete and limestone buildings that were irreplaceable.
However in some ways this is irrelevant as upgrading the means of production is also a significant factor and I am not an engineer so I have little insight there. One way or another, the original factory was demolished within a year of closing.
On one hand there are areas that may have been unable to be easily repurposed due in part to the density and specificity of the complex. On the other, it seems that a year is a very short amount of time to try to find alternate uses and my guess is that was never seriously considered.
