In late February of 2019, HHS, one of the largest privately owned support service companies in the United States, officially opened its new 125-acre campus in Dripping Springs, Texas. Located off of Fitzhugh Road, the campus serves as HHS’ home office and has approximately 100 employees at this location. Within the first few weeks of opening, HHS hired three Dripping Springs residents to the Home Office team, with the ultimate desire to employ more within the next few months. The decision to relocate to the Texas Hill Country was based on the organization’s desire to better accommodate the needs of our growing company as well as our team.
As part of our commitment to the area, HHS took every measure to ensure that our move would have a positive impact on the local community and the beautiful region we call home. Since opening our doors, we have implemented on-site composting to reduce waste, upgraded our water filtration system to a reverse osmosis system, helping to eliminate the need for bottled water, and stocked all break areas with reusable supplies to minimize the amount of waste that ends up in landfills. Additionally, we established an on-site garden to source our own produce to serve at our cafe and to send home with employees, and are also constructing walking trails so that employees can fully enjoy the picturesque Hill Country setting.
In 2017, HHS pledged to support responsible animal welfare and sustainability practices at our culinary accounts. Our dedication for responsible stewardship is also present at our on-site cafe, KO’s Cafe, located at the HHS Home Office in Dripping Springs. KO’s Cafe serves ethically raised meats, poultry, and seafood, and also sources produce and products from area farmers and companies. A few notable partnerships include 44 Farms, Farm to Table ATX, and Hardies. All of these small businesses support area farmers and provide quality products that are raised the way nature intended. KO’s Cafe is operated by Chef Greg Thornton, a native of the Texas Hill Country, and Chef Sean Huitt, and offers a wide selection of breakfast and lunch items. HHS is planning to open KO’s Cafe to the public to further their commitment of supporting the Dripping Springs community.
