Cereality

Cereality® is more than a place to get cereal. It's a new way of thinking about cereal. A new choice in fast food. And an idea whose time has come.

When you walk up to a Cereality, something immediately feels familiar. That's because we serve dozens of brand-name cereals (both hot and cold), just waiting to be combined.

And ordering at Cereality is easy. Pick two cereals and a topping. Be creative. We'll mix it up, and then you add as much milk as you like (including soy and lactose-free).

The HoneyBaked Ham Co. and Cafe
Most Recent UFOC Available:
2006

Over 40 years ago, Harry J. Hoenselaar began a special tradition when he opened his first The HoneyBaked Ham Company store in Michigan. He'd select the finest quality bone-in ham. Cure it in his secret marinade, and then for tenderness, he'd smoke the ham for hours over a unique blend of hardwood chips.

The crowning touch was Harry's crunchy sweet glaze that crackled with good taste. He even found a way to slice the ham into perfectly even slices. He invented and patented a unique machine that slices a ham in a single, continuous spiral. The rest is history.

Three generations and over 400 stores later, the Hoenselaar family still prepares The HoneyBaked Ham the same way that Harry did... one ham at a time. The children and grandchildren of the Hoenselaar family are committed to carrying on the wonderful tradition and legacy of Harry J. Hoenselaar.

Zoup!
Most Recent UFOC Available:
2004


In creating Zoup!, we've set out to provide the most varieties of the best-tasting soups ever made. Our true goal, however, goes beyond the obvious. What we really want to do is create an oasis in people's lives. And, although we realize that doing so is a far greater and more elusive task than simply making great soup, we also know that — unlike any other food — soup has powerful and intangible qualities that provide comfort and promote a genuine sense of well-being for many people.

That's why at Zoup!, everything matters. And, that's why we always operate within a framework of principles and uncompromisingly high standards. Standards that influence our space and packaging. Standards that ensure that we never consider any but the finest, natural ingredients. Standards that guarantee the authenticity and quality of every pot, bowl and cup we serve. And, while all of this may seem extravagant for a business like ours, without this framework, Zoup! would merely be soup.
