Great Harvest Bread Co.

So, in 1976 no one made whole wheat bread and specialty bread stores didn’t exist. I don’t think many people gave Pete and Laura much chance of long-term survival in business. Great Harvest is now 40 years old. Great Harvest has over 200 stores across the country — including Alaska & Hawaii — selling over $100 million worth of bread and products. You can buy a wide variety of breads in grocery stores these days and specialty bread stores in addition to Great Harvest are all over the country. America has changed the way it buys and eats bread. Strange as it seems, it all began with one little bread store in Great Falls, Montana. I wonder what the next thirty years will bring?
