Franchise Growth Across the U.S.
H&H Bagels was founded in 1972 on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. It soon became popular for its classic New York-style bagels and appeared on popular television shows. Over the years, it has used its original recipe and the traditional water-bagel method.
The bagels are proofed, kettle-boiled, and baked fresh daily. It is why the brand now operates several locations nationwide. The brand now operates its stores in California, Washington, D.C., Tennessee, North Carolina, and Florida.
The present CEO, Jay Rushin, has led the company since 2014 and has expanded its footprint in NYC and other states. He continues to grow H&H bagels while honoring its history.
H&H Bagels’ Mandarin location marks its continued growth in Jacksonville. It also reflects its efforts to bring authentic New York-style bagels to more communities nationwide. The new store will offer the brand’s classic menu and variety that will further strengthen its presence in the community.
