Too Many Cooks

Free sandwiches!

Great Harvest Bread Co. reopens under new ownership Friday.

On Thursday, customers can get a sneak peek – and a free sandwich.

The new owners will be giving away sandwiches at the shop from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

The husband-and-wife team of Trevor and Tori Plaisted, both 39, bought the business in September. They are the third owners of the Spokane franchise. It had closed at the end of July.

The past seven weeks, the couple has freshened up the location with new paint and other improvements, such as adding a wall to shield the sink and increase shelving as well as redoing the floor in the production area. Whole grains are milled on site.

Founded in 1976, Great Harvest specializes in honey whole wheat, farmhouse white, Dakota, Cinnamon Burst, cheddar garlic and monkey bread. Seasonal breads are Autumn Caramel Apple and Pumpkin Swirl.

Look, also, for High-5 Fiber, challah and spinach-feta breads, muffins, berry scones, dinner rolls and an array of sandwiches.

The Nutty Bird features roasted sunflower seeds, basil pesto cream cheese and cucumber. The Baja Chipotle Turkey includes chipotle honey lime yogurt, avocado, pepper jack cheese and shredded cabbage.

Soups, at least to start, are mushroom bisque and clam chowder.

Hours are 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday at 2530 E. 29th Ave. Call (509) 535-1146. On the web: www.facebook.com/GreatHarvest.Spokane/ and spokane.greatharvestbread.com.
