Small Iconic Cafe and Catering Business
Business Description
Country Sliced Ham and Cafe has proudly served Lincoln since 1986. Specializing in on-site spiraled and glazed hams, we are the go-to in Lincoln for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter Holiday Hams. In addition to our ham sales we offer our Soups, Sandwiches, Panini's, and sides M-F for lunch. Country Sliced Ham and Cafe also provides catering. The current owners have doubled the previous owners sales and view the business as having untapped potential with catering.
Formed in 1985 as a family business, we are the 4th custodians of this amazing business. While Spiraled and Glazed Hams have been the one constant, the cafe has changed over the years. A deli and bakery have had prominence throughout the history of the company. The current owners brought the focus back to our signature product; ham.
This would mke a fantastic owner operated starting point for someone looking to get into their own business as the cafe part only operates from 10am to 230 pm Monday through Friday and the business generates 60ish percent of its revenue from three holidays every year leaving a massive opportunity for a new owner to capitalize on the available owners to build up its catering arm.

- Market Outlook / Competition
- Country Sliced Ham and Cafe enjoys a captive market as we are the only business in town that offers high quality, low sodium and gluten free hams that are spiraled and glazed onsite. Our glaze sets us apart from the "goopy packet" found in commercially sold hams in grocery stores. Webster Meats out of Webster City, Iowa has been the supplier of Country Sliced Ham and Cafe for over 2 decades. Our competitors are grocery stores and capture the price based market, which are not our clients.
- Opportunities for Growth
- The plan would include going back to rotating specials during the week, grilling "ham" burgers outside during the summer months (very profitable revenue stream), dedicate more time to marketing and networking, and have a more hands on approach vs managing from across town. They would also go back to supporting more local business and forming partnerships and collaboration to offer more diverse product selections.
