JEFF’S BAGEL RUN AWARDS 30-UNIT FRANCHISE DEAL IN SOUTH FLORIDA

Rapid Expansion Continues as Award-Winning Bagel Shop Partners with VHP Retail Holdings to Boost Presence in the Southeast

ORLANDO, Fla., July 25, 2024 - Jeff’s Bagel Run, renowned for its handcrafted, hot bagels, announced a landmark multi-unit franchise deal with seasoned franchisee VHP Retail Holdings.   This agreement will see the opening of 30 new locations across South Florida. With seven locations currently operating and an additional eight in development across Florida, North Carolina, and Texas, Jeff’s Bagel Run is rapidly expanding, bringing its total number of shops open or in development nationwide to 45.

VHP Retail Holdings, a successful multi-store operator, currently manages a portfolio of car washes and uBreakiFix stores throughout South Florida. The first of its 30 Jeff’s Bagel Run locations will debut in Boca Raton, Coconut Creek, and Pembroke Pines later this year.

"While we have enjoyed many years in the franchise world, we have long wanted to grow into the food space," said Enzo Potolicchio, from VHP Retail Holdings. "When I heard the founding story and tasted the bagels, I was immediately sold. As a family-run business ourselves, I wanted a product that I would feed my own family. These are the freshest bagels I've ever tasted, and I'm confident the community will agree!"

Since its inception in 2019, Jeff’s Bagel Run has captivated taste buds across Central Florida, earning accolades such as being named one of America’s Best Bagels at New York City’s Bagelfest in 2023. Setting itself apart by offering scratch-made, fresh, hot bagels, along with an array of coffee and spreads on-site at each location, the brand has quickly become synonymous with quality and innovation. Leveraging cutting-edge technology for streamlined ordering and delivery, coupled with a scalable supply chain, Jeff’s Bagel Run is poised for exponential growth, aiming to surpass 50 locations by next year.

Jeff’s Bagel Run is seeking single- and multi-unit operators to join the fast-growing brand as it focuses on opening across the country.
