Is the area you are considering within 15 miles of another Great Harvest bakery? Use our Franchise Locator to check. If there is not a Great Harvest bakery within 15 miles, then it's most likely available.

Bakery Locator

If you are not sure if an area is available, please e-mail Dawn Eisenzimer with up to three intersections of major streets with corresponding zip codes (ex: Idaho St. and Glendale St., 59725) which represent retail areas in your town. These intersections are just geographic points for us to plot on a map, and do not need to correlate with locations that are available for lease.

We use demographic criteria to determine if a town is potentially viable. Generally, we're looking for areas with 40,000 people in a five-mile radius. Under the right circumstances, we have considered smaller areas.

Here are some areas that we are frequently asked about, but are unavailable for new locations:

• Anchorage, AK and surrounding areas (Wasilla and Eagle River do not meet our demographic requirements)
• Minneapolis and St. Paul, MN metropolitan area
• Portland, OR metropolitan area
• Salt Lake City, UT and surrounding areas (nothing available between Logan and Provo). We are not accepting applications for Park City, UT
• Seattle metropolitan area

If you are interested in a new franchise opportunity, please contact Dawn Eisenzimer. If you would like to learn more about existing bakeries that are currently for sale, please contact Sally Munday.
