History

HoneyBaked Ham Corporate Office

HoneyBaked Ham

Honeybaked Ham was founded in 1957 in Detroit, Michigan, by Harry Hoenselaar. The company operates a chain of ham and other meats to go, along with sandwiches, stores in the US. Honenselaar would select hams by hand, then smoke them. Afterward, he spiral cut them so his special honey glaze would permeate the meat.

Today, the company has more than 200 franchises and approximately 100 company-owned locations across America. The company also has an eCommerce site, as well as popup stores located in major malls during the Thanksgiving/Christmas holiday season. In addition to ham, the company also offers turkeys, pot roast, and BBQ pork. Many locations also offer side dishes, such as coleslaw, sweet potatoes, or corn.

History

While the company is privately owned, new CEO Dave Keil has stated that the company has revenue in the $500 million range. Three families, the Kurz family in Ohio, the Schmidt family in Michigan, and the Farbolin family in Georgia, who all owned part of the company, recently came together to form one corporation in 2015, under the name Honeybaked Ham Company, LLC. This consolidation allows the company to work together more easily and should allow for faster expansion.

Forbes reports that millennials love working for the company because they feel like family, not employees.

During National Sandwich Month (August) the company offers a BOGO free offer, even during the COVID crisis of 2020.

The company has purchased a new corporate headquarters that will serve as its customer support center for its customers as well as company-owned owned and franchise store locations. The new 22,660 square foot building on Mansell Road in Alpharetta was purchased for $2.29 million.

Atlanta Bread Company Corporate Office

Atlanta Bread Company

Atlanta Bread Company was founded in 1993, when brothers, Jerry and Basil Couvaras purchased a Sandy Springs Sandwich shop. The company began franchise operations the following year. The company operates a chain of sandwich and bakery shops in the US.

The company grew very quickly and by 2006 had more than 232 franchises, as well as corporate owned locations. The Couvaras brothers were charged with fraud in South Africa in 2004 and paid more than $5.5 million in fines, but avoided jail time. The company suffered as a result, with most small business administration loans going into default. The company ranked #11 on the SBA’s list of 25 Worst Franchises.

CEO Jerry Couvaras states that the company is back on track, however, and growing once more, but this time, more slowly. Today the company has about 50 locations, but they are hiring once more and making plans to re-open some of their former locations in 2017.

Half.Com Corporate Office

Half.Com

Half.com was founded in 1999 by Josh Kopelman. The original idea behind the company was to sell used books and textbooks for “half price” or less. The company has no inventory or stores, but instead, has sellers offer their own personal items for sale. The original site sold books, textbooks, and music on CD’s.

The company was purchased by eBay in 2000 for $350 million. Today, it works as a subsidiary of eBay, however, the company does not use an auction type setting as its parent company does. Buyers can see the current new, used, and previously sold prices, however, so they know if the price is a good deal or not. Half.Com offers books, textbooks, music CD’s, movies, and video games.

eBay had considered integrating Half.Com into their platform, however, customers objected. Its main revenue source lies with the used textbook market. The company began accepting PayPal as a means of payment in 2013.
