Overview
Since 1996, House of Bread has been providing high
quality, healthy and delicious baked goods to our customers daily. We
have enjoyed a phenomenal response to our products and have greatly
exceeded our initial sales projections.
House of Bread has found its niche primarily through heavy sampling, open production sites and the milling of wheat on-site; we have been utilizing these proven strategies for success.
House of Bread Franchising offers an opportunity to experience the pride and independence of owning your own business along with the benefits of a proven system and a strong support network. Changing times are encouraging people to own their own businesses and control their own destinies as they seek to be free from the pressures of the corporate world. House of Bread Franchising is a natural fit for those who aren't afraid of hard work, while ready for a rewarding and successful business environment.
House of Bread Franchising has planned for responsible, managed growth by building a network of intelligent, hard-working and honest franchisees who enjoy making great bread and offering quality services.

Products & Services
At House of Bread we make bread the way
Grandma made it – by hand, fresh, 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.
We are dedicated to providing your family with the best-tasting and most-nutritious bakery products available. At House of Bread, good taste comes naturally.
