The Hershey Company has completed the purchase of the Allan Candy Company, based in Ontario, Canada. Allan Candy produces confectionery brands Allan, Big Foot, Hot Lips and Laces. They also sell Easter novelty chocolate products. More than half of Allan Candy's current manufacturing capacity is used to make Hershey Sweets & Refreshment products such as Jolly Rancher hard candy and Lancaster caramels for North America. With the purchase of Allan, Hershey operates three confectionery-manufacturing facilities in Canada, including Allan Candy's 170,000 sq ft facility located in Granby, Canada, which is part of the acquisition.
