Origin: The Start
Carvel started when Tom Carvel bought his first ice cream truck with a loan from his wife. He would travel and sell his homemade ice cream at different locations. During one of his rounds, his truck broke down and he began selling there and within a span of two days, he had sold his entire stock of ice cream. This small hurdle helped him realize there was a market out there for softly frozen desserts. He later opened his own store right at the site of the breakdown and the business grew from there. Started from scratch, today the company is worth millions.

Milton Hershey had some bumps on his road to success. Hershey was a success but, he was failure at one point. In 1872 he started his first Lancaster confectionery shop. But, soon after he opened it closed. Then he visited his dad in Colorado and ment another confectioner there. That’s where Milton learned how to make caramels with fresh milk. When he came back he started another shop where he made his new signature caramels. A few months later that closed. Even after the bumps he still
Milton S. Hershey was born in a small Pennsylvania town named Derry Township on September 13, 18571. He was the only child of Fannie and Henry Hershey. His mother was a Mennonite2 and moved often, which disrupted his education and could only finish 4th grade3. Hershey became an apprentice of a Lancaster candy maker for four years and started to get into the candy business. Milton opened his first candy store in Philadelphia on 1876 at the age of 184which failed after 6 years and went bankrupt on 1882.5 Milton then tried his luck at opening candy stores at Chicago and New York, both resulting in failure and went bankrupt again on 1886.6 When Milton visited Denver, he discovered how to mix fresh milk with caramel and returned to Lancaster to start a caramel business on 1883. 7his business proved to be a huge success and was named the Lancaster Caramel Company8. The success of this caramel company was the thing that set Milton as a candy maker and provided him with financial stability to start on his next interest, chocolate. Milton purchased his first chocolate-making equipment from a German company called J.M.Lehmamm Company on 1893 that was displayed in the World’s Columbian Expedition9. He started a sub-company called Hershey Chocolate Company under the Lancaster Caramel Company and began to produce chocolates. On 1900, Hershey sold his successful caramel company for $1,000, 0010and in order to set his sights to begin mass-producing chocolate. Hershey needed a place to produce that much chocolate and returned to Derry Township, PA to build his new factory on 1903. The Derry Township was an ideal location for producing chocolate because of its source of water, fresh milk, and workers. The factory, later named The Chocolate Factory was built on 1905 and used latest mass production techniques that produced the first milk chocolate that was made in America 11.
