Hershey's you are really dead to me now

Snowflake · 02-10-2009, 11:58 AM

Joseph Schmidt has been a favorite spot for me for years. It was bad enough when Hershey's bought him out, the chocos were still locally made and delish. The variety started getting compact, which was a shame. The dark chocolate mint leaves were to die for.

So last week the news goes out Hershey's will close the local factory and produce the Schmidt line elsewhere (BAH). Now they're closing the Schmidt store. (Double BAH)

Bastards.

It's a Chocalypse!

That's no good at all.

No Schmidt

That's pretty Schmidty!

And unless I use something else, no more s'mores either. Gack! Will I resort to Ghiradelli? No, Belgian choco for my s'mores!

Oh MAN....I have had the 'go to the store' on my bucket list forever, guess I need to get ON that quick

To add fuel to the fire, I believe they're doing the same (or similar) thing to Scharffen Berger.

Yes, MP, you are correct. Schrerffen Berger, the spokesperson and co-founder basically said he was glad the other founder was dead and did not live to see this happen.

I highly recommend Green & Black Maya Gold bars for s'mores.

I work two blocks from Sharffen Berger. So far as I know the factory is all that is closing. The store/cafe will still operate.

However, nobody who works here ever goes there to buy or eat. You can blame us for any continuing closures.
