Franchise Information
| JUST WHAT IS A LOGAN FARMS
HONEY GLAZED HAM FRANCHISE? |
|
Logan Farms is a growing family of franchise stores
specializing in the retail sale of spiral sliced,
honey glazed, fully cooked hams and complemented by
the sale of a variety of other specialty meat products
including the Logan Farms own patented spiral-sliced,
honey-glazed boneless turkey breast. The consumer
who’s fast-paced life-style demands convenience without
sacrificing true gourmet quality… the consumer who
understands the importance of a healthy approach to
eating without sacrificing taste - this is the Logan
Farms Honey Glazed Ham customer!
The overwhelming popularity
of the Logan Farms Honey Glazed Ham is most fully
appreciated during the seasonal holiday periods of
Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. It is during these
times when your customers are literally "in lines
out the door" waiting to purchase their half and whole
hams and other specially prepared gourmet meats for
their family dinners, holiday parties, and for individual
and corporate gift giving. The Logan Farms franchise
enjoys the highest level of sales volume during these
seasonal periods.
Although not to be compared
to the extreme peak in sales volume at holiday times,
sales during "off-season" in the Logan Farms Franchise
are supported during spring and summer with sandwiches,
lunches, and corporate catering of special events.
|
| LOGAN FARMS MARKETING APPROACH |
|
Logan Farms franchises will
be located in primary market areas encompassing an
approximate population of 200,000. A city's
size dictates the store’s size from 2,000 to 2,500
square feet. Guidelines for good site selection are
shopping center locations (not covered malls) with
good visibility, easy access and high traffic generated
by a stable anchor store such as a large grocery chain.
|
|
Logan Farms Honey Glazed Hams
is a food related franchise. While most other food
franchises are typically open 7 days a week , 12 to
24 hours a day, with 30 employees required for operation,
Logan Farms franchises are open only 8 hours a day
from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., 6 days a week, and require
only 4 to 5 employees throughout the year. Extra personnel
are only added during the peak holiday period.
There is no "cooking" of the
specialty meat products on site. The hams and most
of the specialty meat products are delivered to your
door fully cooked from USDA smokehouses. The ham and
the turkey breasts are then spiral sliced and honey
glazed at the retail location.
Logan Farms Honey Glazed Hams
is a simple, clean operation whose customer base is
a pleasure to serve and includes the "upwardly mobile"
retail customer as well as a large pool of corporate
accounts.
