Frequently Asked Questions

Is Great Harvest Bread Co. growing or shrinking?

Great Harvest Bread Co. doesn't have enough SBA loan activity in both FY2025 and FY2026 to calculate a reliable year-over-year trend. For context, it ranks #35 of 413 Retail brands by total SBA loan count since FY2020 -- a snapshot of scale, if not of trend.

How much does it cost to open a Great Harvest Bread Co. franchise?

We don't have that figure -- investment ranges and fees come from a franchisor's Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), which this site doesn't parse (see methodology). The average SBA loan size of $404K (3% below the typical Retail brand's $415K) is a rough proxy, but SBA loans often cover only part of total investment.

What's the SBA loan default rate for Great Harvest Bread Co.?

1 of 26 SBA loans to Great Harvest Bread Co. franchisees (3.8%) have been charged off since FY2020, compared to 1.1% across all Retail brands.
