Leslie David Baker, best known for his portrayal of the character Stanley Hudson in the NBC sitcom "The Office," has opened a Honey Baked Ham store in Sherman Oaks, California. The new location is a joint venture between Baker and entrepreneur Tony Vennie, who are both residents of the neighborhood.
The Sherman Oaks store, located at 14427 Ventura Blvd., offers the retailer's signature bone-in hams, turkeys, pre-cooked entrees, side dishes, and desserts. Baker partnered with Vennie, who has experience in luxury retail and property management, to launch the establishment.
The store officially opened on June 22, though its grand opening celebration is scheduled for July 11, with additional details to be announced. HoneyBaked Ham, founded in Detroit, now operates nearly 500 locations across the United States and also functions as an e-commerce business. The company remains privately owned by descendants of its founder, Harry Hoenselaar, who invented the bone-in spiral-slicer in 1924.
Vennie expressed that HoneyBaked has been a part of his family's holiday traditions, describing it as a brand that "brings people together around great food and meaningful moments."
