Does chocolate still rule CHOCOLATE TOWN? A sale of The Hershey Co. could be painful, but it might not be the devastating blow once thought for a town built on chocolate but sustained by the growth of its hospital and amusement resort.

By Roger DuPuis | [email protected]

ohn Christopher was relieved last month when The Hershey Co. turned down a $23 billion purchase offer from Illinois- J based Mondelez International. The proprietor of Johnny’s Down Under Barber Shop on West Chocolate Avenue in Derry Township, Christopher spent a quarter century working for the Dauphin County chocolate maker before deciding 13 years ago to change careers. Like today, it was a time when Hershey was the subject of sale talks, and worries about layoffs were in the wind. He thinks Hershey’s board did the right thing on June 30 when it unanimously rejected the approach from Mon- delez. Christopher feared a buyout could have meant more job cuts, a smaller footprint and a potential loss of the pres- tige that helped turn a rural company town into Hershey, Pennsylvania: Chocolate Town, U.S.A.

HERSHEY: MONDELEZ NOT FIRST TO COURT COMPANY continued from page 1 But he also is pragmatic. “I think that somewhere along the line, someone is going to make them an offer they can’t refuse,” Christopher said. What then? A Hershey sale might not cause as much disruption today as it might have in years past, as the company has a smaller presence today than it did a decade ago. And the decline in Hershey jobs has coincided with the growth of Penn State Health Milton S. Her- shey Medical Center, which now surpasses the chocolate works in employment. Meanwhile, the success of Hershey Entertainment & Resorts — a separate entity from the candy company, whose properties include Hersheypark — has helped make the area a leisure destination in its own right. And that transition from a manufacturing economy to health care, services and entertainment is a trend that is not unique to Hershey or the region, said David E.
