Okay, we'll admit it. We may be just a
little guilty of bragging as we share information
about ourselves. But, you don't have to take our
word for it. In fact, we'd prefer that you do some
research on us and what we are all about.

A great source of
information on any franchise is the current
franchise owners. An independent company,
FranSurvey, has surveyed Great Harvest franchisees
annually since 2004. This survey reflects their
point of view regarding the overall health of the
franchise system. If you would like to see the
results of that survey, you can purchase the report
for $24.95 from
www.FranSurvey.com
, or obtain a free copy by submitting your qualified
application to us. This report summarizes the
experience and opinions of the Great Harvest Bread
Co. franchisees.

We've
also had the Great Harvest franchise agreement
reviewed by an independent association, the American
Association of Franchisees and Dealers. The AAFD is
dedicated to the encouragement and support of the
highest standards in fair franchising practices for
both franchisees and franchisors. In 2003, the AAFD
bestowed Great Harvest with its highly coveted Fair
Franchising Seal. Ninety-nine percent of Great
Harvest franchisees were in favor of granting the
award, and Great Harvest received one of the highest
scores ever awarded to any franchisor in the Seal's
history. To learn more, visit
