US confectionery giant Hershey Foods has said it wants to change its name to The Hershey Co and double its shares as part of a corporate overhaul.

Hershey said in its filing that the new name is “on trend with today’s marketplace, is easily identifiable and will provide flexibility should the company choose to expand into other market segments”.
