History
Henny Penny began in 1968 when Steggles Poultry expanded their then current business of fresh poultry processing into fast food. Henny Penny's quick service restaurants began, offering dine-in, take away, and drive through facilities.
Over the years, Henny Penny has diversified into some areas other than chicken, such as healthy style dinner meals, but with mediocre success in some stores.
In 1988 they became the first major sponsor of the Newcastle Knights rugby league team when they entered the NSWRL Premiership.
The Steggles family has been very successful over the years in the fast food industry, and even supplies their main competitor in the Newcastle Hunter area, KFC.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“It may be well to remember that the highest level of moral aspiration recorded in history was reached by a few ancient Jews—Micah, Isaiah, and the rest—who took no count whatever of what might not happen to them after death. It is not obvious to me why the same point should not by and by be reached by the Gentiles.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“Three million of such stones would be needed before the work was done. Three million stones of an average weight of 5,000 pounds, every stone cut precisely to fit into its destined place in the great pyramid. From the quarries they pulled the stones across the desert to the banks of the Nile. Never in the history of the world had so great a task been performed. Their faith gave them strength, and their joy gave them song.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
“These anyway might think it was important
That human history should not be shortened.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
