Breadsmith was founded by Dan Sterling in 1993 on Downer Avenue in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and began franchising the same year. Its locally owned bakeries, mostly in the Upper Midwest, bake European-style hearth breads from scratch without additives or preservatives in stone-hearth ovens, following a daily and weekly bread schedule.
