Franchise partners

Open a Ovenly in your own town.

We're looking for a small number of people who want to run a real bakery, not just own one. If that's you, we'll teach you everything we know about our bread.

Who we're after

We'd rather have two good partners than twenty.

This isn't a passive investment. Our partners are in the bakery before dawn, hands in the dough, learning their own town's rhythm. If you want a business you can visit twice a year, we're honestly the wrong fit.

You'll work the floor. At least the first two years, in the bakery, most days.

You know your town. You live there, or you've spent real time there.

You can fund it yourself. Partners cover their own setup, without borrowing against the bakery.

You'll bake our way. Slow ferments, real ingredients, no compromises on the bread.
The process

From first email to first loaf.

Not a binder and a logo. You get the recipes, the training, and someone on the phone when the dough won't behave.

The recipes and the starter

Every formula we use, plus a share of the same starter we've kept alive since 2014. It travels with you.

Six weeks in our kitchen

You bake beside our team on real shifts until the loaves come out right. No shortcuts, no certificate for showing up.

Brand and supplier access

Our name, our packaging, and an introduction to the mill that grinds our flour. Same grain, same price we pay.
