Hershey
Hershey is a Dauphin County CDP whose economic gravity is entirely outsized for its 13,000 residents. The Hershey Company (NYSE: HSY) is headquartered here. Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and Penn State College of Medicine anchor a massive healthcare and academic-medicine sector. Hersheypark, Hershey Lodge, the Giant Center, and Hershey Entertainment & Resorts Co. drive a year-round hospitality and tourism economy. Milton Hershey School operates a 2,700-student campus. The Hershey business mix runs from Fortune 500 vendors and consultants supporting Hershey Co., to specialty medical practices feeding the Med Center, to hospitality operators, restaurants, retail and short-term-rental managers, to professional firms (law, accounting, financial advisory) clustered around all of the above. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — purpose-built operating systems with intelligent automation baked in — for Hershey operators of every size. The questions below come up most often during first calls.
Do you work with businesses in Hershey?
Yes — Hershey is 'Chocolate Town USA' in Dauphin County, home to the Hershey company, Hersheypark, the Giant Center, and Penn State Health's Hershey Medical Center, with heavy tourism and healthcare activity, and we're based across the river in York County a short drive away.
Can you build a booking or scheduling tool for a Hershey tourism or hospitality business?
Yes — for a hotel, attraction, restaurant, or service tied to Hersheypark and the events calendar, a system that ties reservations, customers, and invoicing together beats juggling a paper calendar and three apps in peak season.
Can you support a Hershey medical or healthcare-adjacent practice?
Yes — we handle the security and IT baseline (MFA, managed endpoints, encrypted backups, documented controls) and build tools that keep scheduling, intake, and records organized for a practice in the Hershey Medical Center orbit.
What would a custom platform do for a Hershey business?
Tie your customers, scheduling, and billing into one system built for how your Hershey operation runs, instead of paying for separate tools that don't talk to each other.
Where would AI help a Hershey business?
At the busywork — drafting replies and quotes, summarizing calls, and keeping records current — so a Hershey team handles more without hiring purely to push paper.
What's the cybersecurity baseline for a Hershey business?
Managed endpoint protection, multi-factor authentication, immutable backups, and phishing filtering, with an incident plan. We set the baseline and keep it current.
What does managed IT include for a Hershey company?
Email, devices, network, backups, and security, monitored and maintained, with real support when something breaks — and on-site is easy from just across the river.
What does this cost a Hershey business?
A focused tool can start in the high four figures, with managed IT a modest monthly cost. We scope tightly to what your Hershey operation needs.
Do we own the code and data?
Yes — both, no lock-in, take it anywhere any time.
Can you help our Hershey business get found online?
Yes — a fast site and local SEO so the visitors and locals searching around Hershey and Hersheypark actually find you.
