Expanding our Hershey's Horizons

It was with some amazement that we learned of the closing of Hershey's Gifts catalog business and website this summer.  Along with several other major catalog businesses, The Hershey Company decided to focus more on their core business of selling directly to retail chains versus direct to consumers.

It seems like this decision was probably made long before the economic crisis of 2009, and could be attributed more to a simple strategy shift.  Over the past several years, The Hershey Company has been acquiring brands such as specialty chocolate maker, Scharffen Berger and Hawaiian nut company Mauna Loa which have taken it further away from some of its core business.
 
The good news for Carson customers is that the shift has given us an opportunity to grow our own Hershey's Gifts business.  Utilizing our 16,000 sq. ft. facility and purchasing power, we have partnered with some of the best packaging businesses in the U.S. in order to grow and expand our own gift products.  While we already have created a very strong personalized gift business, we now also offer non personalized gift items filled with the freshest Hershey's chocolate you can buy anywhere, because we get ours directly from Hershey, PA.
 
So while The Hershey Company continues to focus on making the World's Best Chocolate, there is even more opportunity for Carson to bring that great chocolate to you either personalized or non personalized in our new and exciting gift packaging for almost every occasion.
