Today’s working professionals value flexibility and work-life balance more than ever before. According to one study, 62% would prefer to be their own boss but are weary of the risk and financial commitment that comes with starting from scratch. Franchising offers the sound ability to own your own business and create your hours with the security of a proven model.
At The Honey Baked Ham Company®, we believe owning a successful business shouldn’t come at the cost of family time. Our family-friendly hours allow franchisees to grow their business while prioritizing quality time with loved ones.
Why Work-Life Balance Matters
Individuals who achieve this healthy balance between work and personal life are not only happier but also more productive. For franchise owners, this balance is crucial. It allows franchisees to be present for important family moments, pursue personal interests, and still focus on growing their business.
At Honey Baked Ham, we live by a strong set of core values that guide our actions and inspire our franchisees: love what we do, serve others, aim high, do the right thing, and keep it fun. These beliefs don’t just apply to our business—they become a part of our franchisees’ lives.
Family-Friendly Hours at Honey Baked Ham
Owning a HoneyBaked franchise comes with unique benefits, including family-friendly hours that allow for a healthier work-life balance. Unlike many food service businesses and restaurant franchises, our stores typically operate during regular business hours, meaning no late nights or unpredictable schedules. This flexibility lets our franchisees enjoy meaningful family time while running a profitable business as a retail franchise owner.
As an owner-operator, you’ll also be ready for a busier holiday season, which is our peak period. Many franchisees invite family members to help during these times, ensuring that business success and family connection go hand in hand. This model allows you to share in the excitement of the season without sacrificing quality moments with your loved ones.
Real Success Stories from Our Franchisees
Todd and Laycie Ewing, franchise owners in Cartersville, Georgia, share their story of balancing business ownership and family. “HoneyBaked’s core values are aligned with our own—do what you love, love what you do, serve others, and always aim high. These values have made owning a franchise feel like a natural fit for our family, allowing us to not only be part of a successful business but also remain connected with our community and each other.”
The Ewings are just one of many examples of franchisees who have successfully blended work and family life. Working alongside their daughter Elizabeth, they’ve embraced the HoneyBaked lifestyle, which includes enjoying more time with family during non-peak periods while still benefiting from a thriving business during the busy holiday season.
