Wayfarer Bread eyes North County expansion

• Encinitas and Oceanside are on the list, and more locations could be added soon.

Zoom in: Founder and owner Crystal White is partnering with San Diego-based Rise Collective, a restaurant-growth group, to support the expansion.

• White will transition into a creative director role, overseeing quality, developing recipes and guiding the bakery's culinary direction.

How it'll work: Each location will operate as a standalone bakery, making breads and pastries from scratch daily. The team isn't planning to franchise or centralize production.

• "It will all be made from scratch in-house every day," Rise Collective partner Randy Corrigan said in a press release, "with the baker showing up at 3am, just like they do now."
