Glu Hospitality COO Derek Gibbons said: “Our initial expansion will be in Florida and Pennsylvania, which we believe offer incredible growth opportunities for the Bagels & Co brand.
“Our future plans call for expanding beyond that to several states and eventually a national rollout.
Gibbons and business partner, former investment banker Mike Marsh, are responsible for expanding the brand’s footprint.
Marsh said: “Bagels & Co is a true neighbourhood café that appeals to everyone, whether you are on your way to work or school, grabbing a quick bite, coming home from a workout or spending time with the family, we are ready to serve and all of our sandwiches are fresh and made-to-order.”
