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

Bakery Locator

If your area is within 15 miles of another GHBC, please email us at sallym@greatharvest.com 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. Please select an intersection of major streets within the area. 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'll get to the location hunting process later.

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
• Jackson Hole, WY

If you are interested in these areas, email sallym@greatharvest.com to inquire about existing GHBCs that may be for sale.
