REDLANDS, Calif. (AP) The Hershey Co. is closing down its Redlands distribution center and moving to Utah.
About 90 local jobs will be lost.
Hershey, the nation's second-largest candymaker after Mars Inc., opened the 600,000-square-foot distribution center in 2002.
Hershey spokesman Kirk Saville says relocating to Ogden, Utah, is part of the company's new global distribution plan.
Utah corporate recruitment managing director Derek Miller says The Hershey Company was offered a refundable tax credit to move to Ogden.
