The company operated a series of chocolate stores and also published cookbooks. A Canadian branch of the company was in operation sometime in the 1890s. A factory was built in Montreal in 1905, and there were also Canadian offices in Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary, and Vancouver. The Canadian branch is now owned by Hershey Canada Inc., a subsidiary of The Hershey Company.
