Bruegger's Bagels

Burlington, Vt. / No. of units: 300

Bruegger's Bagels underwent a change of ownership in 2011 when it was purchased from Sun Capital Partners Inc. by the French Le Duff group, owner of La Madeleine in the U.S. and Del Arte and Brioche Dorée in France. The sale capped the turnaround of Bruegger's, which struggled prior to the arrival of Jim Greco in 2003. As CEO for Bruegger's, Greco led the company to 20 consecutive quarters of sales growth and the acquisition of more than a dozen smaller interests. After the sale, Greco served as co-CEO of Le DuffAmerica before stepping down to become CEO of Sbarro.
