Love Ham For the Holidays? HoneyBaked Ham Stores in Colorado

The years just seem to go by quicker and quicker; Coloradans that enjoy ham for the holidays may want to keep an eye on HoneyBaked Ham locations.

With all the hustle and bustle of the holidays, with the gift-buying, the holiday parties, all the Santa visits, you forget that about Honey Baked Ham. Did you know that there are some states that don't even have one?

They're a great way to save time, and they're tasty.

The HoneyBaked Ham Company dates back to 1957, out of Detroit, started by a man who sold honey-glazed hams to drugstores. The idea of the spiral-cut hams came to him in a dream and he made his first slicer  "a tire jack, a pie tin, a washing machine motor, and a knife."

That contraption must have looked funny, but it did make some great ham; over 60 years later The Honey Baked Ham has over 500 locations. Wyoming is one of the states/territories that does not have one; Georgia has the most at 44.

It occurred to me the other day, that I don't hear about them much these days; maybe they've cut back on advertising. So I looked into how many are still around in Colorado, as the holidays grow near.
