They have each lived in Savannah almost twenty years. Janet's expertise is in management and organization, having been an office manager in various capacities. LeeAnn has been an attorney for more than twenty years, specializing in franchise finance and working with franchisors such as McDonalds, Wendy's and Burger King regularly.
LeeAnn started looking for a franchise opportunity about five years ago, but wanted one that she could believe in and use to help spread her passion for healthy eating. When she remembered Great Harvest Bread Co. from her high school years in Pennsylvania, she pitched the idea to Janet and Janet enthusiastically jumped on board. Together, they are so excited to introduce this healthy, whole grain bakery to Savannah.
In March, Janet & Lee Ann attended three weeks of bakery training at the franchise office in
Dillon, MT. There, they began by learning about the fundamentals of running a high quality and efficient sandwich business. Next, they spent a week learning how to make high quality, whole grain breads and sweets. Their training culminated with a week spent running the Dillon bakery. Janet and Lee Ann graduated with honors and will be able to share the freshest and highest quality whole grain products with the Savannah community!
If you’re in the Savannah area, don’t hesitate to swing in and say hello to Janet and Lee Ann! They will likely be helping oversee the final stages of consturction throughout the early summer and then you can find them baking fresh made from scratch daily products later on. Check out their Facebook Page to track their progress toward opening!
