What is ESOP?
At Houchens Food Group, you're not just an employee — you're an owner.
An Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) is a benefit program that provides employees with ownership interest in the company through shares of stock. At Houchens, that means when the company succeeds, so do you.
Through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), every eligible team member becomes a part-owner of the company. This means your hard work directly contributes to the growth and success of a business you share in.
Why ESOP Matters to You
Houchens is one of the largest 100% employee-owned companies in the U.S.
Shared success
As the company grows and thrives, your share in its success grows too, giving you a direct connection to the bigger picture.
Retirement-ready
The ESOP helps you build real, long-term financial security, with no out-of-pocket cost to participate.
Real ownership
You’re not just working for a company — you’re helping shape it, with a personal stake in its direction and future.
The longer you stay, the more ownership you earn.
