I believe that the two Hendrickson's were shot by the original Hershey chocolate plant by the looks of the building in the background. Unfortunately they say it's days are numbered as the company wants to move production "south of the border" which would end like 6,000 union jobs. Besides the main plant, there are several other candy plants in Hershey owned by the company including Reese's.

I photographed the Hershey Pirsch and Snorkel at Founder's Hall of the Milton Hershey School. This school was founded by M. S. Hershey and is funded by a trust that he established. In addition to the main plant and Reese's, there is only one other candy manufacturing facility in town. This is a modern, fully-automated plant known as West Hershey. Several other buildings house various offices, the tech center, and several warehouses. I am not sure who 'they' might be, but the Hershey Trust Company, which owns the controlling interest in The Hershey Company, is strongly committed to keeping manufacturing facilities in Hershey and thereby continuing the operation of the school.
