Founded by Jeff and Danielle Perera in Central Florida in 2019, Jeff’s Bagel Run has been growing steadily, bringing its bagels throughout Florida, as well as to new markets in Texas, Georgia, and the Carolinas.
The Pereras founded the chain when they “found themselves longing for the authentic New York-style bagels that Danielle grew up enjoying,” the Jeff’s Bagel Run website says. “Dissatisfied with the options available, they decided to take matters into their own hands.”
The result is a network of 36 bagel shops (and counting). At each, you’ll find selection of scratch-made bagels in varieties like Asiago Everything, Cacio E Pepe, Rosemary Salt, and Cinnamon Sugar, and they can be topped with spread flavors like Banana Pudding, Cake Batter, Cannoli, and Chive & Onion.
And the big news is, Jeff’s Bagel Run is now headed to the Jacksonville market. Two multi-unit deals have been signed: one with Former Taco Bell executive Shane Sizemore, of Moresize Enterprises LLC, which, according to a press release, includes four locations, and one with SNP JAX, which includes three locations.
