Great video and showcase of our products. I worked at NECCO for the last 5 years. This past Tuesday they shuttered the plant and ceased all operations. While I was only there the 5 years, there are many employees with over 25 years in the company, and even some over 35 years. They/we got nothing. It wasnt the most popular candy, but the market was big enough to keep 200+ full time workers on year round with another 3 to 400 seasonal hires from Sept to Feb. The oldest continuously operating confectioner in the U.S., since 1847, ends on a mysterious note amid multiple investment firms' cloak and dagger business tactics.

I grew up in Western Massachusetts and used to hit up NECCO on our way down to Misquamicut Beach.... REALLY sad to hear how that Company "took care" of their employees. I'm trying to find work, and, at 46, it's astounding how much things have changed, and, not for the better!

You could quit your damn bitching and whining and take over the damn company and make new and innovative products for the company instead, Dominic Cangemi. Seriously, if the companies want to fold, then they should disband the unions, get rid of dishonest non-union people, and let all new people run the companies under The Golden Rule. Alternatively, another good company could buy it out and the company that would be best for taking over Necco would be the Russell Sifers Candy Company from Merriam, Kansas.
@Stealthborn6 жыл бұрын
I will admit that Necco could have done more when it came to innovation but why incorporate the law of reciprocity into this? The company just took on a lot of debt. Regardless, it will still be quite sad when they go unless they pull a Hostess or something. I will miss the Sky Bar the most since it was a unique candy.

If that "ice chocolate" is the same like "Eiskonfekt" here in Germany (what I guess) then it is a special kind of chocolate, that melts immediately, when it's in your mouth. Most people keep it in their fridge, so it keeps cold cause it tastes better this way and doesn't melt away, when the temperature is getting a little bit higher. That's why it's calles "ice chocolate". :)

Sorry to hear Necco may be closing. I used to pick up trailer loads of scrap candy at the Revere, MA plant and take it to feed plants who processed and used it in animal feed. I always hit the company store at Revere and loaded up on Skybars and Wafers and give them away along my routes. Tough times for candy companies. I also picked up at Hershey's in Hershey, PA and they are having issues too, as candy sales are down all over. Difference though between Hershey and Necco is the Hershey Company is a trust and can't be sold, despite the shenanigans of some foxes in the corporate hen house trying to make it happen. The attorney general of the state of Pennsylvania had to get involved and clean out the traitors. As for Necco, I can remember 70 years ago getting Skybars at the barber shop for being able to sit still and get a hair cut, as a reward. One of my favorite words is rapacious. One of its definitions is "keeping live prey." In essence, a leveraged buyout is a process of keeping a company going and draining every drop of cash out of it, then chapter 13, or 11 but ultimately 7 bankruptcies take place. It is designed to only benefit the financiers who put it into play in the first place and a banquet for the lawyers who create the continuity process of "keeping the prey" alive long enough to suck it dry. The goal never was to make any investments and keep the enterprises going. It is only a way to chop up and take the value out of a company and leave all others destitute.

Awesome video, I grew up in Chandler and never knew this candy place existed. Moved to Prescott in 2010 after my Air Force enlistment was over. This is off the topic, but have you ever been to the Prescott Gateway Mall in AZ? I wouldn't say that it's a dead mall, but probably a dying mall. Last time I was there was a couple years ago & it looked a lot like your videos on dying malls. Food court had just a couple vendors, looked like a ghost mall with a lot of vacant retail spaces. The anchor stores (Dillard's - Sears - JCPenney were still operating at that time) not sure now. I've watched a lot of your videos, thanks for uploading them. You mention a lot of the classic Arizona places I remember. (Fiesta Mall, Bashas market, Organ Stop Pizza, etc) I went to Dobson High School, class of 1995. Was wondering if you could produce a video about Golfland in Mesa if it's still around??? Used to go there in the 1980's & early 1990's. It had a sweet 2-floor video game arcade, pizza shop, mini-golf & of course huge waterpark. Thanks, Aaron
