JUST WHAT IS A LOGAN FARMS HONEY GLAZED HAM FRANCHISE?

 

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.


 
EASE OF OPERATION

 

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.
