The legendary chocolate company Hershey’s closed their 45-year old plant in Oakdale, California, this past February to relocate their production facility to Monterrey, Mexico. As one of the main sources of job opportunities for this small town of 18,500, the closure nearly devastated the town. However, a knight in shining amour has arrived!
Okay…maybe not a knight in shining amour, but family-owned company called Sconza. Sconza, a growing candy manufacturer previously based in Oakland, California, is relocating to the Oakdale area. Founded in 1939 by Vincent Sconza, the company is capitalizing on Hershey’s departure by relocating to a region saturated with confection making talent and excited to have a company stay in the good old USA.
Hmmm... Maybe they will add hot chocolate to their product line…?
