Most bakeries in my area are selling just one type or two and actually they sell fresh breads they baked just moments ago and not a shop only selling various breads (maybe they are more craft=bakery). So I should choose the correct bakery before going to it.
While I was recording wholemeal bakeries I also saw some bakery complexes that are larger and bake a wider range of breads with different flours, etc. and have two distinct parts one for baking out of customers' eye and a shop. For these shops I agree, and we have more choices. But also there is another aspect: a bakery complex may only sell fancy breads while the common breads we use daily are flat breads (including lavash, sangak, taftoon, barbari...) and having only a shop=bakery isn't enough.

I agree, but as I wrote about my motivation, the wholemeal bakeries are not common and although there are some bakeries in each area but only some of them have become actually wholemeal. 
I say "actually" because for example Sangak bread is known to be wholemeal but it has become more bran bread than wholemeal in some areas.
So you can see my work like advertising for wholemeal bakeries that are increasing gradually :)
