Every day, millions of people worldwide eat food prepared with Henny Penny products, including fast casual restaurants, supermarkets, and convenience stores. As an employee-owned company with nearly 70 years in the industry, Henny Penny is dedicated to its culture of shared ownership and building a dynamic environment for its team at its Eaton, Ohio headquarters.
To build on its global success and enhance its role as an industry leader Henny Penny embarked on a major update to its facilities.This update includes an 18,300 square foot Owners Hall, designed for employee-owners to gather and grow together. The facility includes a library, space for events, and, of course, a dedicated food preparation area.
To create an inspiring space, Henny Penny turned to Ohlmann Group to help bring their past to life and pay tribute to the employee-owners.
Ohlmann Group worked to complement the interior design of the Owners Hall with installations that showcased Henny Penny’s history while celebrating their unique employee-ownership model.
The resulting design includes a massive multimedia history wall and an adjacent video installation that features employee owners. The employee wall is continuously updated with media to create a dynamic and fresh “family photo and video album” for their team.
The new Owners Hall launched with a huge employee event and has been featured in the company’s annual report. Ultimately, this space gives the Henny Penny employee-owners a place to celebrate their heritage and take pride in their ownership.
This project isn’t our largest in square feet, but we consider it the most meaningful. We know that by taking care of each other first, our success as a company will naturally follow.”
