Great Harvest Bread Company Reinvents Model with the Multi-Unit Franchisee in Mind

Tatyana Stemkovski2019-03-20T20:38:01-04:00March 20th, 2019|Tags: authentic breads and pastries made fresh daily, bakery franchise, bakery-cafe model, Great Harvest Bread Company, multi-unit franchise model|

Meet with the Growing Bakery Cafe Franchise at the Multi-Unit Franchising Conference, Booth #300

DILLON, Mont. — Great Harvest Bread Co. seeks qualified multi-unit and multi-brand franchise partners to leverage their model that allows franchise owners to go where the competition cannot and cover more territory at an unmatched investment level.

The nearly 200-location bakery cafe franchise has implemented their new and distinguished hub and spoke expansion model built for the multi-unit business owner. To share how the model gives entrepreneurs a leg up on the competition, Director of Sales Ben Green will be attending the Multi-Unit Franchising Conference on March 24-27 at Caesars Palace Hotel in Las Vegas. Attendees can visit Great Harvest at booth #300.

Aiming to be the only bakery cafe of its kind, Great Harvest is more than just an artisan, specialty bread business. The company’s reputation for providing the most delicious, daily-made bread has now expanded to a diverse menu including grain bowls, salads, sandwiches, soups, desserts, fountain drinks and more. In addition, by adding approximately 35 seats and a public bathroom to its bakery cafes, sales at those locations jumped and sparked the creation of Great Harvest’s hub and spoke growth model.

Bakery cafes are the key element in Great Harvest’s new hub and spoke model, which allows multi-unit owners to go more places with a smaller footprint while reaping the full benefits of both a central bakery cafe and multiple cafe-only locations. The bakery cafe acts as the hub, supplying fresh bread throughout the day to the spokes, or cafe-only locations, in surrounding communities. In two years, nearly 36 percent of the franchise system is leveraging the developed hub and spoke design.

Differentiators at a Glance:

Great Harvest Bread Co., is as turn key as you want it to be with its unique freedom franchise. Owners are able to set their own pricing, create their own menu items, choose décor that fits their style and market, localize their marketing efforts and more.
Hub and spoke allows franchisees to go into high-traffic areas with as little as 1,500 square feet, opening cafe doors in downtowns where competitors cannot because of the large amount of space they require.
The hub and spoke model provides an incomparable investment opportunity that allows someone to own multiple Great Harvest Bread Company locations for the price of a single Panera and dominate more territory.
Multi-unit franchisees have the ability to become their own supply chain while achieving better quality control and serving a superior product.
The bakery cafe and hub and spoke model is the best of both worlds, a fresh idea with substantial growth opportunity and 40 years in business, unlike most emerging brands.

Entrepreneurs attending the Multi-Unit Franchising Conference come with expectations to mingle among the best of the best in the industry and want to hear how proven brands have already thought about the future disruptors and what each brand is doing differently to give multi-unit and multi-profile entrepreneurs the tools they need to do what they do best – expand with intention. Great Harvest has just what they’re looking for.

About Great Harvest Bread Company

Great Harvest Bread has spent the past 40 years perfecting the combination of ingredients to make the freshest and authentic breads and pastries, as well as the newer sandwiches, grain bowls and soups, growing to nearly 200 locations, all of which continue to mill their own Golden Triangle wheat every morning from scratch. Providing local communities with authentic breads and pastries made fresh daily, the brand is now growing through franchising with a new bakery-cafe model ideal for multi-unit ownership. Open during three parts of the day—breakfast, lunch and dinner— the menu has grown beyond a wide variety of soft, delicious breads to include soups, sandwiches and grain bowls.

SAN ANTONIO — Celebrating 15 years in business, Massage Heights, a leader of professional, affordable, and convenient therapeutic massage and facial services, announced another banner year for the brand, reporting $104.8 million in revenue, as well as a new partnership with Franchise FastLane to sign 20 franchise agreements in 2019.

How this Small-Town Dillon, MT Franchise Reinvented its Offerings to Take on Panera

Tatyana Stemkovski2019-03-14T18:39:31-04:00March 14th, 2019|Tags: bakery-cafe franchise model, cafe and sandwich model, freshly-baked artisan specialty bread, Great Harvest Bread Co., hub and spoke model, specialty diets|

Great Harvest Bread’s Brand Evolution Addresses Consumer Demand and Resolves Pain Points for Multi-Unit Franchise Owners

DILLON, Mont. — Great Harvest Bread Co., known for serving the finest quality specialty bread is a rising direct threat to Panera and other cafe and sandwich competitors as the 43-year-old brand is now serving more than just its signature handmade loaves and growing rapidly in size.

Great Harvest franchisees and brand leaders grew tired of being subtle about the distinctive differentiators that make them a slice above the rest. The company took what they already did better – baking bread from the freshest ingredients, including fresh-milled Montana wheat – and reinvented its menu, business model and morphed into the newest bakery cafe franchise to be reckoned with.

Notable Growth

In the two short years since Great Harvest debuted this model, the new hub and spoke locations have grown to make up nearly 22 percent of the franchise system. Franchise owners are recognizing the profitability of growing strategically through hub and spoke locations, and the proof is in the numbers:

Great Harvest opened eight new locations in 2018
In 2018, the number of signed stores grew by 17 percent
In 2018 and Q1 of 2019, Great Harvest signed 33 new format stores – 9 bakery cafes and 24 new cafes
Hub and spoke agreements were signed in eight new markets in 2018, including six bakery cafes and 13 new cafes
Nine new cafes signed to existing markets

“Great Harvest is no longer what it used to be. We are reinvented and franchisees new and old have seen the the impact it has had on their business,” said Eric Keshin, president of Great Harvest Bread Co. “No one else has the strength, consistency and high bread-baking standard to do what we’re doing and stand tall against the giant. By pairing who we are with our hub and spoke expansion strategy we saw incredible growth in 2018.”

While generations have grown up on the freshly-baked, artisan specialty bread served at Great Harvest, there has been a perpetual presence of specialty diets, which sparked a movement among the leadership team to offer more than delicious, daily-made bread. The franchise found that by adding approximately 35 seats, public bathrooms and an expanded menu including grain bowls, salads, hot/cold sandwiches, soups, fountain drinks, an espresso machine, desserts and more to bakery cafe locations that sales jumped and the variety offered something for everyone.

The Hub-and-Spoke Model

Great Harvest’s hub and spoke model enables entrepreneurs to become successful multi-unit business owners by offering the option of expanding their number of units with additional cafe-only businesses around a centrally-located full bakery cafe. This allows franchisees to go into high-traffic areas with as little as 1,500 square feet, opening cafe doors in downtowns where competitors cannot because of the large amount of space they require. The hub and spoke model provides an incomparable investment opportunity that allows someone to own five Great Harvest Bread Company locations for the price of a single Panera and cover more territory.

“With our carefully crafted hub and spoke business model, we ensure our franchisees will be able to efficiently out-bake and out-localize the competition with our signature, made-from-scratch-daily products,” said Great Harvest Bread Chairman and CEO Mike Ferretti. “It’s cost effective for multi-unit owners looking to overcome Panera’s restrictions by opening smaller-sized spokes in high-traffic areas, all while achieving better quality control as you’re your own supply chain.”

There are more than 190 independently owned Great Harvest locations across the U.S. However, many fans and loyalists often mistake the franchise for a ‘mom and pop’ due to its freedom franchise model, which allows each owner to choose their own pricing, décor, menu items and more. Customers have come to expect local flavors and ingredients from each Great Harvest they visit, proving the franchise is anything but cookie cutter.

Multi-unit owners especially appreciate the freedom franchise because unlike other franchises, with Great Harvest they can tweak their local offerings, set their own pricing in order to be competitive in their local market and have control over advertising support. Owners are put in the driver’s seat while simultaneously being able to tap into the benefits of a proven system and a network of franchisees for additional support.

Row House to Debut in Canada, Marking First International Studio

Boutique Rowing Concept Opens First Canadian Studio in Toronto This Summer

IRVINE, Calif. — Following its rapid development in the United States, Row House, a low-impact, high-energy indoor rowing concept, announced today its first international studio development in Canada. As the demand for unique, boutique fitness concepts grows in the country, the brand is well-positioned to succeed with its efficient and effective rowing workouts. The inaugural Canadian location is set to debut in Toronto, and is targeting an opening date in summer 2019.

Currently Row House has 16 locations open and 200 territories sold in the United States and is on track to have over 100 studios open by the end of 2019. The company’s extensive domestic growth and success have led Row House to seek out international markets for expansion.

“Demand for this groundbreaking concept is incredibly high right now, so in Canada, we expect to see a trajectory of growth similar to what has occurred in the United States,” said Ramon Castillon, President of Row House. “We’re confident that our neighbors to the north will fully embrace the camaraderie, inclusivity and total-body results that Row House offers.”

The Toronto studio will be owned and operated by local entrepreneurs Steven and Elena Gliosca. Steven has worked in IT for 20 years, developing startups in Eastern Canada, while Elena is the owner of a local portrait photography studio. They were immediately hooked on the Row House workout and strong sense of community after visiting one of the brand’s New York locations.

ORADELL, N.J. — Huntington Learning Center, the leading tutoring and test prep provider with more than 300 locations across the country, announced today that it will begin rapid franchise growth in the New York Metropolitan area – the same region where the company first opened its doors in 1977.

“This is a pivotal moment in Huntington’s history,” said Anne Huntington, Vice President of Business Development and Member of the Board of Directors. “We are excited for the opportunity to significantly expand our reach within this market and continue the mission that our co-founders, my parents, began 42 years ago, which is to give every student the best education possible. As the next generation of Huntington leadership, I am proud to carry the legacy they’ve built into the future.”

Huntington franchisees not only have the opportunity to make an impact in their communities but are provided with comprehensive training and support to launch the business, including step-by-step guidance in terms of operations, marketing, finance management and the knowledge of an experienced and dedicated team.
