Hershey will build distribution center in Ogden

OGDEN — Ogden is getting sweeter.

With a financial incentive from the state of Utah, The Hershey Co. says it will build a distribution center in Ogden.

The center will create about 125 full-time jobs. Hershey is expected to invest $38 million.

The Pennsylvania company is the nation's largest candymaker, know for Hershey's Kisses, Reese's, Kit Kat bars and Twizzlers licorice. Hershey had nearly $5 billion in revenue last year and employs about 13,000 people worldwide.

Construction will start in spring. The incentive offered to Hershey is worth as much as $2.6 million.
