A Fresh Chapter with Anne’s Pantry
Are you passionate about food, community, and building something of your own? Anne’s Pantry is exploring new franchise opportunities in Geelong — one of Victoria’s most dynamic and fast-growing regions.
Founded in 1929, Anne’s Pantry has built a trusted reputation for quality, consistency, and warm café-style hospitality. With successful stores across Melbourne’s inner east, we’re now looking to bring our signature bakery and café experience to Geelong.
Why Geelong?
Geelong offers a unique blend of population growth, lifestyle appeal, and retail energy. It’s a region on the rise, with strong indicators for future business success:
- Rapidly expanding suburbs like Armstrong Creek, Charlemont, and Glenlee Estate
- Two major Deakin University campuses driving café culture and daily foot traffic
- A vibrant waterfront precinct and thriving visitor economy
- High-traffic retail hubs including Westfield Geelong and Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre
- Major infrastructure investment through the Geelong City Deal
We’re currently reviewing potential sites in the area. While no lease has been signed yet, we’re inviting expressions of interest from motivated franchise partners who want to grow with us.

To support your launch, Anne’s Pantry is offering a Franchisor contribution of up to $50,000 toward setup costs. This limited contribution reflects our confidence in the region and our commitment to helping franchisees succeed.
