OPPORTUNITY
Description
Hungry Howie’s was born in
1973 when Jim Hearn converted
a 1,000 sq. ft. hamburger
shop in Taylor, Michigan into a
successful carry out & delivery
pizzeria. Around this same
time, Hearn hired a delivery
driver named Steve Jackson.
Over the years, their relationship evolved into a partnership.
In 1983, they awarded their
first franchise. The popularity of
Hungry Howie’s spread quickly.
Today, we are approaching
600 locations in 24 states.
