A Menu Built for the Way Australians Eat Now
A RECIPE FOR TRUST, BAKED FRESH SINCE 1929
It started in Surrey Hills with a local pastry chef known as “Miss Cook,” and one belief: home-made food, made with care, always beats anything off a factory line. Nearly a century later, that belief still shapes every loaf and pie we serve.
That legacy earned a modern twist when we added fresh Vietnamese bánh mì to the menu, bringing in a wider audience without losing what made the original recipes work. It’s been a hit and the bánh mì is now one of the best-sellers across our Melbourne stores.
We’re now inviting a small number of motivated owner-operators to bring that heritage to their own community, backed by a proven system, our own central kitchen, and a team beside you at every step. No hospitality background needed. Just ambition, warmth, and the drive to run something you’re proud of.
A MULTI-BILLION-DOLLAR MARKET, A WIDE-OPEN LANE
The bánh mì is now part of everyday Australian life — a fresh, fast, affordable lunch as at home on a Melbourne strip as any sandwich or salad roll. Across our 6 stores, the crispy pork bánh mì keeps flying out the door — proof of loyal, repeat demand inside a market with real scale.
Australia’s convenience food sector is set to grow from $15.2B in 2025 to $26.9B by 2034. That’s exactly the lane Anne’s Pantry runs in — freshly made, grab-and-go, built for busy tradies, coffee grabbers and everyone in between through the lunch rush.

WHAT'S THE POTENTIAL?
Anne’s Pantry stores turn over $1M+ on average, annually.* As a franchise partner, you’re not buying an untested idea, you’re stepping into a proven, systemised model with built-in brand recognition, daylight-only trading, and full support from Day One. Your actual potential depends on how involved you are in the business and how closely you follow our system.
We take the investment our franchise owners make in us seriously, and it drives everything we do, and the results speak for themselves.
Your actual result depends on your effort, your location, and how closely you run the system — but nearly a century of doing one thing well (good food, served fast) is the foundation you’re buying into.
GREAT OWNERS COME FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE
You don’t need café experience — full training is provided. We bring the system and support; you bring the drive.
You’ll thrive here if you’re:
- A first-time entrepreneur ready to back a proven model
- A corporate professional or career-changer wanting ownership without the late-night hospitality lifestyle
- A family or owner-operator team building something together
- An existing business owner diversifying into an everyday-demand category
What helps:
- Hands-on, people-first, comfortable leading a small team
- Happy to follow a proven system rather than reinvent it
- Passionate about food, service and community
- Financially prepared for the investment
