Heavenly Ham

In Short
Founded in 1984 in Hilton Head, S.C., this chain has expanded to more than 100 locations throughout the United States. During the day, families and office workers dine on savory club, chicken salad and roast beef sandwiches or take boxed lunches with chips and a cookie to go. Those planning holiday dinners or large meetings often place orders for spiral-sliced hams, smoked turkeys or meat-and-cheese party platters, plus side dishes, desserts and breads.
