Franchise Information
House of Bread is a retail micro-bread bakery with a deli concept on the side. We focus on using organic ingredients to produce the most delicious and nutritious bread ever. The three distinguishing factors that are attributable to the success of the concept are the milling of high protein organic wheat berries on the premise, an open production site and a huge sample board in order for people to be able to sample hot bread out of the oven.
Since 1996, we have been baking bread the way Grandma made it by hand, fresh, and naturally. We have recently converted to using 100% organic oats, grains and flours in our flagship San Luis Obispo House of Bread. Most of the franchisees have either introduced or are in the process of introducing an organic product line. Our products are all made from scratch using the finest and freshest ingredients including high-protein flour that is stone ground daily at each location, and certified chemical free.
