The entire workforce of 575 employees will be gone by January with last Saturday being the last day for the 99 people on the Hershey's Kisses and Kisses With Almonds production lines.
The plant's closure is part of a system-wide restructuring plan that includes the closure of five other plants in the U.S. and Canada this year. For the future, Hershey long-haulers will truck Mexican Kisses to American customers.
Employees contacted by the Modesto Bee refused to comment about the closure due to confidentiality agreements. It's not known what was received in return for signing the agreements.

An emailer notes that the shutdown of the plant curiously coincided with the 100th anniversary of the Hershey Company. Heh.
