History
In 1957, Harry Hoenselaar opened the first Honey Baked Ham Co.® store on Fenkle Street in Detroit, Michigan. There, he sold the only ham in the world that came pre-sliced in a patented spiral design, sliced on a machine he designed and patented himself. Not satisfied with selling the easiest ham to eat, Harry also smoked the highest-quality bone-in hams for hours over a special blend of hardwood chips and added a secret recipe sweet glaze to make his top-quality hams more tender and flavorful than anything else available on the market then, or today.
We’ve come a long way since our first store, but we’re still owned and operated by the Hoenselaar family (our CEO Jim Denkins, was former President of Coca-Cola North America for 30 years), and still dedicated to the quality and innovation Harry instilled in his company from the very beginning.
Ideal Candidate
We’re looking for passionate franchisees with a positive, can-do attitude that keeps them striving for success. We know impeccable financial management skills, sales aptitude, and managerial experience don’t necessarily come standard. As long as you’ve got a strong work ethic and a willingness to learn from our experience within our proven system, we’ll help you get there.
