This location will bring you to an area where the manufacturing industry in Manchester once thrived and employed nearly 1300 workers in the area in its heyday at the old Goody products plant

The plant which opened in 1963, was a major part of the city's growth and economy, which in turn has suffered since it's closing in 2006, when the company began a restructuring plan and started to outsource some of the manufacturing and move the remaining to other plants throughout the U.S.
