The company has 2 new owners. Amy Henderson is the daughter of the original owners and creators of Halletts. KC. Henderson the other co-owner has worked her for 5 and a half years. Lexi Richardson was a long time customer when she came to work for us.

In your own words, please write a paragraph about how the owner or partners got interested in starting this business. Is the owner the first person in their family to own a business?

The original.owners left jobs in the banking and train fields to start this business. They turned it into what it is after 46 years. The new owners are family of the original owners. It was important to keep it in the family and continue to grow this special business into something bigger and better for the next generation to take over.

Tell a story about a great customer experience.

We have long time loyal customers who have been a part of this place from the beginning. We have Donna and Mike Clancy who come in 3 to 4 times a week. We see them pull up and start there lunch before they are through the front door. We have so many more incredible customers who are loyal and supportive of the new transition.

Explain why a customer should consider your business instead of going to a competitor.

We will bend over backwards to make sure your experience is special and you are full and happy and feel like they are a part of the Halletts Family. We want to be your new favorite place and to feel like you belong here.
