BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Local Favorite for Baked Goods and Sandwiches

Step into the world of freshly baked delights with this charming, well-established Great Harvest bakery opportunity. Bloomington-Normal is a vibrant and growing community that includes two major universities, an influx of new residents and low unemployment due to recent additions of innovative tech centers and local corporate investments into expanded operations. Our bakery has a solid base of local customers who have been purchasing our bread for day-to-day and special occasions for over 25 years. We continuously evaluate our menu items to meet demand by new customers that are joining the Bloomington-Normal community. In that regard we have added new items like focaccia, sourdough, and unique specialty cookies, scones and other items. We have recently added a walk-in cooler to increase production capacity, a refrigerated sandwich production station, digital menu displays for the lobby, and a Ford Transit Van to support a growing catering business. We also recently updated our lobby with display shelving that reduces wait times for customers by allowing them to grab online orders as well as giving them the option to select their purchases directly or with the assistance of staff. The lobby includes popular retail options such as soup mixes, jams and jellies and other specialty items.

Whether you're an aspiring baker or a seasoned pro; investor or restauranteur, this is your golden opportunity to turn your passion into a thriving business. Ready to make your dreams rise? This bakery is ready to be your next successful business venture!
