Mike and Karri Stoker opened the new Great Harvest Bread Co. bakery at 8378 W. Grandridge Blvd. in Kennewick October 26.
Don Pratt Construction was the general contractor on the two-story, 6,000-sq.-ft. building at the corner of Grandridge Boulevard and Quinault Avenue, behind Costco. The project was designed by Tate Architects of Pasco. The cost of the project, which includes the purchase of the land, was approximately $1 million.
The bakery, which offers whole wheat breads, sandwiches and a wide variety of baked goods, occupies 3,600 sq. ft. in the building.
Two other tenant spaces are available, including a 1,200-sq.-ft. retail space on the ground floor adjacent to the bakery and an office space that has 300 sq. ft. downstairs and 800 sq. ft. on the top level.
For leasing information, contact EverStar Realty at 735-4042.
Great Harvest is known for its whole wheat bread, but the bakery will offer five to six other breads daily. In addition, there are fresh cinnamon rolls, scones, muffins and cookies. The bakery also offers a variety of deli sandwiches made fresh to order.
