The Orlando-based brand operates 32 locations with more than 100 units units in development nationwide.
"Every market we enter reinforces the same thing: there is real demand for a true scratch-made bagel experience," Jeff Perera, co-founder of Jeff's Bagel Run, said in the press release. He noted that the company's bagels are mixed, boiled and baked in each store daily, a process he says guests recognize in both flavor and freshness.
Jeff's Bagel Run offers 16 daily varieties of bagels, including 15 core flavors and a rotating Bagel of the Day.
President Justin Wetherill said the company is prioritizing disciplined growth by partnering with experienced operators who can replicate the brand's hospitality-focused model in new communities.
"Our growth is intentional," Wetherill said in the press release. "We're looking for operators who take pride in craftsmanship and want to deliver a small-shop experience built on freshness and community connection."
Jeff’s Bagel Run is a scratch bakery with a simple and delicious menu of bagels, spreads and a full coffee program. The shops are open daily from 6:30 a.m. - 2:00 p.m., allowing operators to schedule on a single-shift model. The simple menu enables the brand to keep excellent and consistent products while maximizing revenue.
