In their recent second-quarter results report released on Friday, sales in the double digits have spiked compared to last year. This has led to more consumers buying regular and Halloween-themed candy that’s higher than what Hershey can make.
“We had a strategy of prioritizing everyday on-shelf availability,” Hershey CEO Michele Buck told CNN, “That was a choice that we needed to make. It was a tough decision.”
The company is blaming ongoing supply chain issues, scarce and costly ingredients, and the war in Ukraine, according to CNN.
