- Market Outlook / Competition
- Great Harvest Co. is a well established neighborhood bakery/cafe that provides a healthy option for Helena residents. Our products use simple ingredients and are scratch made every day. We offer a variety of sandwich breads and specialty breads along with scones, cookies, cinnamon rolls, muffins and bars galore! Our sandwiches and salads are made to order using the freshest ingredients with scratch made dressings and spreads.
We offer delivery through Doordash and we are located just down the hill a couple of blocks from the State Capitol. - Opportunities for Growth
- With the influx of new residents in the Helena and surrounding areas, there is a huge growth potential for this location. With a large territory, one could easily open another location.
While we do large catering orders for local businesses, new owners could create a catering menu through EZ Cater and get more exposure.
We have a couple of established wholesale accounts but new owners could expand on that.
Helena's Farmers Market can be expanded from April - October instead of June- September.
