It’s time for this old guy to retire and pass Hienies on to the 4th generation. We (Denise and I) have owned Hienies for over 20 years and have been blessed with so many great employees and customers, we would like to thank you all. My nephew Dean will be carrying on the tradition as of April 4th. He has been working for us 10+ years and we’re sure he can continue uphold the name. We’re in our 75th year and and still use the same recipes and quality ingredients and we’re sure he will too.

Thank you all,
Larry Dal Santo
