HoneyBaked Ham of Georgia Purchases New Corporate Headquarters

Company Takes Advantage of Excellent Purchasing Environment to Acquire Building That Will Serve as Customer Support Center

NORCROSS, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The HoneyBaked Ham Company of Georgia announced today that it has purchased a new corporate headquarters that will serve as its customer support center for its customers as well as its company owned and franchise store locations. The 22,660 square foot building, located at 3875 Mansell Road in Alpharetta, GA, was purchased for $2,295,000. The deal closed November 18, 2010. Davidson Webster Associates, LLC represented the purchaser in this transaction.

"HoneyBaked is always looking for opportunities to cost effectively improve the operations of the company and add to the quality of corporate culture for our associates. The purchase of this building as a new support center accomplishes both of these goals," said Charles A Bengochea, president and chief executive officer of HoneyBaked Ham of Georgia. "The current real estate market conditions made this purchase an outstanding investment for the company. It will give us a facility that we can be proud of as we continue to grow the company."

The property, formerly known as Morningside Forest, had previously housed Jenny Pruitt and Associates and First Horizon Mortgage and was purchased in 2004 by Ten Thirty One Alpharetta for $4,415,000.

"While the property was never listed, we realized that the impending expiration of the existing leases would leave the building significantly underutilized and make it an ideal acquisition target."

HoneyBaked will move their base of operations and 70 corporate employees from Norcross, GA, to Alpharetta, GA, in June of 2011.
