Local franchise owners Janet Savadge and LeeAnn Aldridge have signed a lease to operate the new Great Harvest Bread Company bakery at 7360 Skidaway Road in the Norwood Market in Sandfly.
The bakery is expected to open in the spring.
“Our goal is to create a fun and inviting atmosphere and offer customers fresh, great tasting and healthy foods,” Aldridge said.
Savadge said she and Aldridge have combined their love of food and community to take the opportunity to own and operate a neighborhood bakery.
