PANAMA CITY BEACH − A nationally known food retailer and eatery is scheduled to soon open two new Panhandle locations. Past reports note officials with Honey Baked Ham plan to establish new locations in Panama City Beach and Destin next year. The popular restaurant is said to be America’s first and oldest ham franchise. It was founded by Harry J. Hoenselaar in Detroit, Michigan, in 1957.

He also had a patented slicing process that made the ham easy to serve, which helped it become a staple during the holiday season.
