Joseph Schmidt Confections, a favorite for all young and old, will soon close its doors for business.

Turbulent economic times have put a strain on the retailer and after almost 30 years in business; Joseph Schmidt Confections will be no more.

“It’s painful to see a San Francisco icon go out of business” says San Francisco resident Catherine Schreiber. “I’m Chocolate lover and consumers loose out when companies go out of business because there are less choices.”

The Hershey Co. which bought Joseph Schmidt Confections in 2005 is discontinuing the brand and closing its two Bay Area stores in San Francisco's Castro neighborhood and San Jose by June 30.
