October 28, 2025 • Franchise News

DeRon Jenkins celebrated with friends the opening of his Honey Baked Ham store in Lenoir City on October 25, 2025. Jenkins, the store’s franchisee, hopes this is his first of many locations. Jenkins played cornerback for the Volunteers football team from 1992-95, alongside Peyton Manning, Al Wilson and coach Phillip Fulmer. He then played in the NFL. Jenkins, a proud “Vol for Life,” co-hosts HGTV’s Flip or Flop Nashville. The store is located at 870 US-321. It donated $500 to the Boys and Girls Club of Loudon County to show support for the community.
