- Hickory Farms, LLC. is an American food gift retailer with headquarters in Chicago. Richard Ransom established the company in 1951 when he began selling handcrafted cheese at local fairs. By 1959, the company added summer sausage and opened its first retail store in Maumee, Ohio. By 1981, it operated over 1,000 Hickory Farms stores and seasonal kiosks open in the United States and Canada. In 2000, the company shifted away from year-round mall-based locations to focus on internet and catalog sales. As a result, the company closed its remaining year-round mall stores. The company will however, still operate pop-up stores and kiosks in malls during the holiday season. In 2017, the company relocated to Chicago, Illinois, from Toledo, Ohio. Its owner, Modjule, LLC, is also headquartered in Chicago. In 2021, Wicked Good Cupcakes joined the Hickory Farms family of gourmet food gifts. Wicked Good Cupcakes gained popularity after appearing on ABC’s Shark Tank in 2013. Today, Hickory Farms specializes in gift boxes and baskets, wine gifts, chocolates, and charcuterie gifts. Its gourmet foods are found in more than 500 pop-up shops and kiosks in retail shopping centers during the holiday season. The company also does multichannel marketing, offering products year-round at club stores, mass merchandisers and supermarkets, as well as through catalogs and their website. (en)
