The Story Behind HERSHEY Comes to the Big Screen This November

Hershey fans have something new to look forward to this Fall. HERSHEY, a new feature film exploring the story behind one of the world’s most recognizable chocolate brands, made its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) and arrives in theatres this November.

The film stars Finn Wittrock (American Horror Story, The Big Short) as chocolate pioneer Milton Hershey and Alexandra Daddario (The White Lotus, True Detective) as his wife, Catherine “Kitty” Hershey.  The film follows Milton Hershey’s journey through early business failures to the creation of the chocolate empire that would make the HERSHEY name famous around the world. At the heart of the story is Milton and Kitty’s relationship and the lasting legacy they built together. The cast also includes Alan Ruck, Richard Kind, David Costabile and Heléne Yorke.

For visitors to Niagara Falls, there’s a natural local connection. Falls Avenue Resort is home to HERSHEY’S Chocolate World Niagara Falls, Canada’s only HERSHEY store. The 7,000 sq. ft. retail attraction is chocolate heaven in the heart of the Niagara Falls and steps from the Falls. Visitors can indulge in a wide selection of decadent treats and packaged items including Hershey’s Milk Chocolate dipped strawberries, mouth-watering cookies, and thick milkshakes topped with whip cream and a signature Hershey’s Kiss. In addition to fresh items is a wide selection of packaged treats, collector items, and exclusive souvenirs including an iconic 5lb Milk Chocolate Bar.

With HERSHEY arriving on the big screen this November, chocolate fans visiting Niagara Falls can experience a little more of the iconic HERSHEY name during a stop at Falls Avenue Resort.
