The opportunity
The original bakery produces more than 2,500 bagels a day in fifteen flavours and supplies retail and wholesale customers. Its sister kitchen, opened in 2023 next door, serves jerk chicken, roti and patties and has earned local recognition. The franchise concept combines the two into one counter with four platforms: bagels, cream cheese, jerk chicken and roti, so it sells across the day and is quick to learn. Bagels are baked centrally and delivered fresh to each store: no wood oven, no overnight baking crew.
What makes it attractive
- Proven products with a loyal clientele and award recognition
- Central production: no in-store baking, smaller kitchen, faster training
- Four menu platforms instead of two full menus: fewer ingredients, less waste
- Sales in the morning, at lunch and at dinner; takeout and delivery already strong
- Four weeks of hands-on training, an operations manual and set standards
- Opening support: site selection, lease review, store design, suppliers, launch
Who it suits
- An owner-operator who wants to be in the store, leading the team
- Experience managing people in food service, retail or hospitality
- Respect for recipes, standards and the customer experience
- About $50,000 in liquid capital; small-business financing possible under conditions
- Ties to the community and an eye for a strong location
