Step 4: Getting to Know
Each Other

Do you want the freedom to make your own decisions and truly run your own business?

Would you enjoy standing back at the end of the day and seeing the tangible fruits (or bread!) of your labors?

Do you wish you could smell the hot bread, fresh from the oven, right now?

Are you looking for a way to give back to your community and do something that actually makes a difference in your town?

Would you like to see your hard work impact your own bottom line instead of your employers?

Do you want to choose the people you work side by side with every day?

Would you like to have the flexibility to set your own schedule and sleep in your own bed every night?

Do you want to be excited about going into work each day... and not have to sit in front of a computer for eight hours at a time?

Can you imagine wearing shorts to work every day?

A Great Harvest Bread Company can help you achieve many of your personal goals. We give you the freedom to run your own business, but with a supportive community of people doing the same thing, a proven business model and a national brand. We often hear from candidates that they are attracted to Great Harvest because they can be in business for themselves, but not by themselves.

*The NPR story talks about a franchisee who generates over $600,000 in annual sales. As reported in our January 30, 2007 Uniform Franchise Offering Circular, our franchisees' average reported gross sales for the period from December 2005 through November 2006 were $513,333 (bread companies open for the full 12-month period). 64, or 38.8%, of the bread companies open for the full 12-month period exceeded this average. A new franchisee's individual financial results may differ from these results.
