Hershey Creamery Company was founded in
1894 by Jacob and his three brothers, Isaac,
John, Paris, and Eli Hershey (No relation to Milton S.
Hershey of the Hershey Company). The ice cream
production plant was constructed in 1926 in
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on Cameron Street.
Hershey's® Ice Cream has been at the same
address since 1926!

ingredients, and value each and every employee
of our company. Happy employees do the best jobs.
We see making work pleasant and productive as

The Great Depression saw the birth of a new era.
Hershey’s® Ice Cream became the first to manufacture
prepackaged pints of ice cream. Those “carry-out” pints
and half gallons started a whole new tradition in the lives
of all Americans: ice cream at home! |
| |
After World War II, America began to run on convenience.
This is where Hershey’s® Ice Cream began to develop
“on-the-run” desserts such as the Popsicle, Ice Cream
Sandwiches, and other popular novelty items that we
still love today! |
| |
Hershey’s® now has freezers instead of ice and salt, and
trucks instead of a horse and wagon, but the service and dedication has never changed. Hershey’s® currently
serves over 26,000 locations and values each dealer as
an important part of our growing history and promising future. |
