What it Means to Be a Premium Food Retailer

HoneyBaked Ham Franchisees stocking fridges

Honey Baked Ham is one of the most diverse franchise opportunities on the market because we are not just a lunch franchise or just a restaurant franchise, although we do both of those things really well. HoneyBaked is a premium food retailer. When customers come to us to purchase their holiday hams—or their entire holiday meals—they are engaging with HoneyBaked, the food retailer, not the restaurant or catering franchise. Simply put, we are a food retailer because we sell food that customers take away to their special occasions.

Our Premium Product

We stand out in the food retail industry because we aren’t just a food retailer, we’re a premium food retailer. And the exceptional HoneyBaked experience starts with the World’s Best Ham®. Our customers can taste the labor of love that goes into each ham, including hours of hardwood smoking, yet they don’t have to spend their time attempting to replicate the HoneyBaked magic. Thanks to the work of our franchisees and their associates, customers just have to unwrap their gold foil and enjoy.

Our Premium Price Point

As a premium food retailer, we serve a premium product. We also sell at a premium price point. A lot of work goes into each item we sell and our price reflects this, plus, there is a long legacy of excellence that is evident in every bite of a Honey Baked Ham.

For more than 60 years, HoneyBaked has been a part of holiday traditions for thousands of families. They simply can’t picture their Thanksgiving or Christmas table without one of our hams. So, it’s our franchisees’ job to make sure that each order is worth the sacrifices our customers make to ensure their holidays are special.

HoneyBaked is an Essential Business

As you consider franchise opportunities, we know it’s important to take all factors into account, including whether or not opportunities are classified as essential. Because HoneyBaked is a food retailer, and feeding people is always necessary, we are an essential business.

During the COVID-19 crisis, we worked within governmental guidelines to make sure franchisees could make a living and our customers could feed their families in the safest ways possible. It is impossible to predict the future, but when you franchise with Honey Baked Ham you can be sure that as a food retailer your business will be able to remain open no matter what is ahead.

You have the opportunity to be a part of the food retail industry by franchising with Honey Baked Ham. If you are ready to start the journey to HoneyBaked ownership, we encourage you to reach out to our franchise development team for more information.
