White Hen Pantry

White Hen Pantry (known as White Hen in the Midwest) was a Lombard, Illinois-based chain of approximately 261 predominantly franchisee-owned convenience stores located in and around Detroit, Boston / southern New Hampshire, southern Wisconsin, northwest Indiana and central Illinois areas of the United States.

Many also had full delis serving boxed sandwiches and salads, name-brand meats and cheeses and fresh fruits and vegetables.

White Hen's array of services included catering options and sales of external holiday gift cards.
