Bagel leader Bruegger’s recently began a chain-wide remodeling initiative, rolling out its next-generation bakery prototype in 10 major markets in 2010. The company also announced plans to update its remaining locations over the next three years. If that wasn’t enough, in 2010 the chain signed a 10-year agreement with Sodexo Inc., granting the integrated food and facilities management services provider license to open Bruegger’s Bakery Cafés in its managed locations. Bruegger’s continues to expand into new markets, signing franchisees in Austin, Texas, and Louisville, KY., and opening new locations in four other cities.
