Hear from Current Franchisee Owners
Kim Borough – Fredericksburg and Stafford, VA
“The field support team is tremendous. My field consultant cares about where I’m going as an individual franchisee. My consultant is hands-on, provides great support and helps to resolve any issues. They recognize my strengths as an independent owner. They have a consultative approach and want to help me grow my business.”
Kim on customers
“The holidays are hectic at our stores, but they are also wonderful. We have
loyal customers that return year after year. We feel like we are part of their family.
They share with us who is joining the family celebration and that they have to have
a HoneyBaked Ham. It’s only a matter of who is going to pick up the ham that’s
in question, not whether a HoneyBaked Ham is going to be at the table!”
Mike Alfman – Zanesville, OH
I’m pleased with the business and the support I receive. It’s business-like and I like that. I like ‘The Hub,’ the intranet site for communication and resources, and the strong marketing programs. Our field business consultant is always there and provides lots of support. Our success is getting out and sharing our product and message with other business people. We have a great product, so why stand behind the counter all the time? We enjoy promoting our catering, lunch and gifting side of the business.”
Mike Alfman on customers
“So many people build their holiday around HoneyBaked. We often feel part
of the family. It’s a tradition, and our customers trust our brand.”
Matt Davis – Gastonia and Cornelius, NC
“The HoneyBaked name has great brand recognition. The name really sells itself. And, as a franchisee, you cannot find another restaurant with the hours we have with the ease of operations. This is definitely a company I love being a part of.”
Nancy and Grady Love – Rock Hill, SC
“We enjoy the flexibility of operating our HoneyBaked Ham and Café. Maintaining the family connection was big for us, so we wanted to open a franchise where our four children could participate and where we could be home nights and on Sundays. The whole system has been great to be a part of and has been built in such a way that we have the opportunity to be successful in business while maintaining personal and family quality time as well.
“The HoneyBaked Ham Co. and Café offers many opportunities to satisfy customers with our broad product line. Not only do we offer ham or turkey for holiday occasions, we also offer other great year-round business-revenue generators, including lunch in our Café, catering platters and corporate gifting to help fill in sales between the seasonal highs.”
Les Pierce – Corpus Christi and Lake Jackson, TX
“The HoneyBaked Ham franchise opportunity was very attractive to me for multiple reasons, but mainly because of the outstanding brand recognition and the appeal of flexible hours and cooking processes. Growing up in Texas, my family ate a HoneyBaked every year for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter, so naturally I built a love for the great product. Everyone knows the HoneyBaked Ham brand, which made opening my own location a smart business decision.”
Paul White – Portland, Beaverton and Salem, OR
“I initially invested in the HoneyBaked Ham and Café franchise as a great way to invest in my family’s future, and have since been rewarded with not only a rich product, but also a rich support system from everyone in the HoneyBaked family. My experience has been great and continues to meet my high expectations day in and day out. The product is also something that I can believe in, as it is an incredible, high-value product that I feel 100 percent, wholeheartedly comfortable recommending to anyone.”
