PopUp Bagels is expanding its Las Vegas Valley footprint with a second opening. According to the co-franchisee of the new Henderson location, the next PopUp Bagels to hit the Valley is set to open in Centennial Hills. A Facebook post from the Las Vegas Food Scene page confirmed that construction is currently underway and a sign is up at 7150 N. Durango Drive in the Montecito Marketplace.

What Now Houston further spoke with the PopUp Bagel team, who confirmed the opening and shared that Raffi Babaian and Gary Rubenyan are the franchisees for the location. There is not an official opening date just yet, but the plan is to open before the end of this year.

“At PopUp Bagels, our mission is fueled by passion and dedication: to craft unmistakably perfect bagels with no frills, using the essence of simplicity – crispy crusts, soft crumb centers, and an ideal proportion of seeds,” the PopUp Bagels website reads.

“Every bagel is a product of precision, from the high-quality ingredients in our dough to the meticulous proofing process and expert bake that achieves the perfect texture and flavor.”

PopUp Bagels was founded by Adam Goldberg in Westport, Connecticut, in 2020 as a pandemic-era hobby. The brand scaled from a local pop-up borrowing restaurant space to permanent brick-and-mortar storefronts across the East Coast, New York City, and eventually expanded cross-country to states like California. Tory Barlett is now the CEO of the brand.

There are now nearly 50 PopUp Bagels locations across the country, including four in Texas. Houston only has one in the Town & Country Village. The brand debuted in the region this summer. Now, they’re embarking on bringing another eatery to the area.

What Now also reached out to Barlett to find out more about the upcoming opening. Unfortunately, we did not hear back by the time of this publication.

PopUp Bagels offers hot, whole-oven-fresh bagels sold in packs with specialty cream cheese schmears, explicitly omitting pre-made sandwiches or individual bagel sales. They do not slice or make sandwiches; instead, customers follow the “grip, rip, and dip” style right from the bag. Customers can choose from a variety of options, including rotating selections like everythingplainsesamepoppy, salt, and cinnamon raisin.

Try it all out for yourself when the new PopUp Bagels opens in the Montecito Marketplace at 7150 N. Durango Drive by the end of this year.
