Best Hershey, PA Moving Company
Hershey is the chocolate town in Derry Township, Dauphin County, about 15 miles east of Harrisburg. It is home to Hersheypark, the Hershey chocolate plant and Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. Our York moving team moves families, medical staff, students and retirees in and around Hershey all year. Whether you are moving across Derry Township or across the country, we give you a clear plan and a crew that shows up on time.
The older part of town sits around Chocolate Avenue and Cocoa Avenue, where many homes are brick and stone houses from the 1900s to 1940s built by the Hershey company for its workers. These homes are solid but often have narrow stairways, small closets and basements with low ceilings. We pad railings and doorways, take apart beds and large pieces, and plan how each item will come out before we start lifting. If a large piece will not make a tight turn, we tell you up front and help you decide what to do with it.
The medical center brings a steady flow of residents, students and new staff, so we do a lot of apartment and townhome moves on the west side of town. Many of these communities have move hours, parking rules and an office that wants insurance paperwork. We handle that ahead of time. Families moving into newer subdivisions in Derry Township and Palmdale get the same care, from full house moves to furniture-only jobs. Many of those homes have finished basements, big garages and two floors of bedrooms, so we plan the crew size and truck to match.
Timing is a big deal here. From late spring through the holidays, Hersheypark, concerts and events at the Giant Center fill Route 422, Route 322 and Route 743. We plan start times to stay ahead of the traffic when we can. Our packing and unpacking service can box up your whole home or just the fragile items, and we offer storage if your lease and your new home do not line up. Tell us about any pianos, safes or gym equipment when you call so we bring the right crew.
We also move families in nearby Harrisburg, Elizabethtown and Hummelstown. A & M Friendly Movers is family-owned since 2019, and we treat every Hershey move like we are moving our own family. Our mission is simple: quality, professional service at a fair price. Home is where the heart is, and moving is where it starts. Call 717-844-5125 for a free quote.
