Einstein Bros. Bagels Spotlight
 
For the First Time Ever, Einstein Bros. Bagels is Launching Multi-Unit Franchising Opportunities
 
As the nation’s largest operator of bagel bakeries and a leader in the “quick casual” segment of the restaurant industry, New World Restaurant Group is moving with the cultural shift toward food that is fast, but never tastes that way. Think fresh-baked bagels, made-to order sandwiches, crisp hand-tossed
salads and gourmet coffee.
 

THE FIRST-TIME EVER

The brand is now making inroads in the franchising arena. For the first-time ever, Einstein Bros. Bagels, an established 11-year-old brand, is launching multi-unit franchising opportunities starting in the Southeast United States. With more than 340 company-owned and 86 licensed restaurants across 29 states, Einstein Bros. Bagels is giving entrepreneurs and multi-unit developers alike the chance to be a part of its valued brand, exceptional customer loyalty, and high-quality menu and service, through franchising. “We’re dedicated to supporting our franchise system the right way, selecting the right franchisees, developing in the right areas at the right pace and maintaining the right win-win relationship for both Einstein Bros. Bagels and our franchisees,” says Ron Sacks, vice president of business development. “With our extraordinary visit frequency and established customer base, we’re thrilled to give franchisees the opportunity to join the Einstein Bros. Bagels family.”

 

FASTEST GROWING

According to a Gallup Poll featured in Nation’s Restaurant News, the “restaurant industry is the most highly regarded industry sector in America,” and once more, the quick casual segment of the industry is the hottest and fastest growing. Now you can provide your neighbors and guests with a craveable menu that includes award-winning bagels and shmear varieties, made-to-order breakfast and lunch sandwiches, Darn Good Coffee® and specialty coffee drinks. Hearty soups, fresh innovative salads, baked goods and decadent desserts round out the menu offerings.

 

NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT

There’s no time like the present to be involved in an Einstein Bros. Bagels franchising opportunity. For the past 11 years, Einstein Bros. Bagels has devoted extensive resources to its business and its customers, resulting in seven consecutive quarters of positive same-store sales. Einstein Bros. Bagels also has a proven track record with its licensed locations in universities, hospitals, airports, travel plazas, hotels and retail locations nationwide, which means its new franchisees can feel confident that it has established successful systems.

 

NEW FLAGSHIP RESTAURANTS

As a leading company in the quick casual segment of the highly competitive restaurant industry, the new company-owned flagship restaurants in the Lincoln Park section of Chicago and Sandy Springs area of Atlanta demonstrate Einstein Bros. Bagels’ desire for growth and continuous improvement.
