H&H Bagels, the iconic New York bagel brand, is excited to announce the opening of its newest location in Boca Raton, FL, marking the legacy brand’s first expansion outside of NYC.
With seven locations across New York City, the Boca Raton location [2200 Glades Road, Boca Raton, FL 33431] will be the first franchise location, beginning an exciting chapter in the esteemed brand’s move towards bringing classic, authentic, New York City bagels to customers nationwide!
In case you are unfamiliar, H&H Bagels was founded in 1972 on the Upper West Side of Manhattan and has become synonymous with the quintessential New York City bagel, earning them appearances on shows such as Sex and the City and Seinfeld. With seven locations across the New York City area, H&H Bagels has maintained its original recipe and artisanal water bagel method to make their bagels for over 50 years. Utilizing high quality, simple ingredients, H&H Bagels are proofed, kettle-boiled, bathed in cold water, and then oven-baked fresh to perfection. Baked on-site all day, customers are able to choose from a wide variety of spreads, egg sandwiches, smoked fish, and house-made salads.
Leading the company since 2014 is CEO Jay Rushin, who has re-imagined the H&H Bagels brand by growing the number of New York stores and launching the franchise model. Jay has deep familial ties to the H&H Bagels brand – his father-in-law acquired H&H bagels in late 1980s – and a passion for the brand’s unique history and legacy. Rushin utilizes his skills gleaned from over twenty years in finance to lead his team in the growth of H&H Bagels.
