New Café in Holladay: Where Sticky Meets Savory

Ribbon cutting ceremony

We have a new neighbor just down the road from Jakob Marketing Partners. Great Harvest Bread Company Café officially opened their doors for business on Saturday, May 18.  The new location is next to Great Harvest Bread Company bakery on 4655 South 2300 East in Holladay. We sent our social media intern Tiffany Justice to taste test the baked goods.

"One of their newest creations they've rolled out is their sticky buns. The baking process is creative and the end product is delicious.  These sticky buns are made with Great Harvest's cinnamon burst bread dough. After the buns come out of the oven they're doused with their strawberry butter and then dipped in pecans," explains Tiffany Justice, Jakob Marketing Partners Social Media Intern.

Bakers produced 800 cookies for the grand opening

Great Harvest Bread Company Cafe Co-owners Peggy McVea and Steve Washburn are siblings. They came together to hand out free cookies and drinks to those who bought sandwiches. In addition they gave 10 percent of Saturday's net profit to the Road Home to help the homeless. "We want to give back to the community and help those in need in our own neighborhood," said Washburn.

Sweet definitely meets savory at Great Harvest Bread Company Café with their wide selection of sandwiches. Customers can choose between two menus of their premium and classics sandwiches. One of their most popular sandwiches is their classic turkey. A simple pleasure - it’s made with turkey, provolone cheese, tomatoes, mayo and lettuce pictured on the right below.

There's no shortage of treats at Great Harvest Bread Company Cafe. The cookie and bread samples are huge. On Saturday, kids also received free face painting and balloon animals. It was surely a trip to remember!

Adventure Pig Goes to 30 Women to Watch

“Today is the day,” I said to myself as I woke up. I could not contain my excitement! Today, our very own Julie Jakob would be named one of Utah’s 30 Women to Watch for 2012—a very prestigious award given to those who are exceptional leaders, entrepreneurs, change makers, and a mentor to many.

Today was a day of business and celebration, so I dressed to impress. I ironed my Jakob Marketing Partners cape, cleaned behind my ears, brushed my teeth, and came to the Grand America with a sense of pride. My cape was flying in the wind and the hairs on my chinny-chin-chin were tingling as I walked into the common room.

It was about to start! There were hundreds of people talking and laughing and getting to know one another. Booths from the event’s sponsors were set up and guess what… JMP came to impress! We had a booth filled with information and games. It was awesome to see everyone interacting and being so friendly (not to mention, we all looked goooooooood).

It was now time! I was so excited, I rushed into the award room and got a table for all my friends from JMP to join me. It was so nice! We were served a delicious three-course meal while the speakers of the event began their speeches. One of my favorite parts…? The dessert had a secret center of deliciousness! Okay, okay, back to the program! My other favorite part was seeing a slide show of all the women who won this prestigious award. Julie’s was my favorite, of course. In the slide show Julie was sure to put in a picture of her entire staff. I thought that was really nice how she made an effort to include all of us. She also showed a video about what it was like being the owner of a company. I loved every minute of it. While they were showing the slides Julie walked down the aisle and on stage to receive her award. I had chills for her! I was snorting and clapping and as happy as could be!

After the awards ceremony, our entire company went on stage! Oh man! Even though everyone was dismissed and leaving, I still became super nervous walking up there to take a group picture! I was afraid I was going to face plant going up the stairs! I don’t know how Julie looked so calm and collected when she walked to the platform to receive her award—she was smiling from ear to ear!

  

All in all, it was an amazing experience to see Julie receive this remarkable reward. Not only was it fun being with everyone from the company, but it was also fun being with Julie’s family and seeing how supportive they are.
