The H. T. Hackney Company is an American wholesale grocery distribution firm headquartered in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Founded in 1891, the company has grown over the years to become one of the largest grocery wholesalers in the nation, with operations covering much of the Eastern United States.

[8] In subsequent years, Morton, Ross, and iron manufacturer Hugh Sanford formed an influential triumvirate known as "The Three Musketeers", which controlled a significant portion of the city's business activity in the 1910s and 1920s.

On August 30, 2011, H. T. Hackney hired former University of Tennessee basketball coach Bruce Pearl as its Vice President of Marketing.

[6] Products include frozen food, baked goods, candy, snack foods, tobacco, cosmetics, and deli items,[6] and its major trading partners include General Mills, Kraft, Valvoline, Procter & Gamble, and Kellogg's.
