Hearn converted a
1,000 square foot hamburger shop in Taylor, Michigan into a
successful carry-out and delivery pizzeria. At the time,
Steven E. Jackson delivered pizzas for Hearn. Over the
years, their partnership would evolve into what Hungry
Howie’s is today. How does a single-store operation become a successful multi-unit competitor in the pizza industry? Steve Jackson says, “It takes a fierce desire to succeed in one of the toughest food segments. Major elements in our strategy include excellent products, superior customer service and the marketing savvy to compete against the national pizza chains.” In 1982, Jackson and Hearn made a decision to franchise their operation. In January 1983, they awarded their first Hungry Howie’s franchise. ![]() Training & Support Site
