Hi-Lo customers will not have to cook their own hams this Christmas! That's right; the popular supermarket chain's branches, at Manor Park, Liguanea, Barbican and Cross Roads, will bake and garnish your ham for a small fee.

Assistant customer and marketing manager, Damion Turner, says people are now into making life easier and Hi-Lo prides itself on helping them do just that.

He tells The Gleaner that once customers buy their ham from Hi-Lo stores, all they need to do is call the customer service desk at any of the four participating stores two days in advance of the time needed and it will be prepared.

A wide variety

Customers may choose hams cooked and dressed, for $450 per kilogramme or cooked without dressing, for $260 per kilogramme. Then in 48 hours, stop by the same location and the ham will be baked, packaged and ready to eat.

Mr. Turner notes that there are a variety of brands of hams to choose from. There is the Grace Country Pride mini leg ham, half ham, leg ham and picnic ham. Also, Hi-Lo has National Meat Distributors, Lafleur picnic and Lydford leg, and Pullman ham. The Best Dressed Chicken Ham and the Larson ham are distributed by Best Dressed Foods. Plus, the Caribbean Broiler passion cooked chub ham.
