Milton Hershey sold his caramel company to focus on chocolate production, which he believed had greater potential for success. The company was sold in 1900 to a competitor, allowing Hershey to redirect his efforts towards developing the Hershey Chocolate Company. This decision ultimately led to the creation of the iconic Hershey brand and its widespread popularity.
Milton Hershey did not sell his company, The Hershey Chocolate Company, during his lifetime. Instead, he built it into a successful enterprise and focused on philanthropy, establishing the Milton Hershey School and other charitable initiatives. After his death in 1945, the company continued to operate under the Hershey Trust Company, which he had set up to manage his estate and ensure the school’s funding.
