Europe’s leading artisan bagel brand is entering the UK, and we’re looking for the right partners to help us build it
Bagelstein is now coming to the UK for the first time. We’re looking for partners who have a genuine appetite for something different and unique, the commercial experience to scale it, and the personality to get behind a brand that has never tried to be anything other than itself – and has never had to be.
100+ restaurants across four countries
3 distinct revenue streams
bagels (45% of sales), desserts and pastries (35% of sales), and coffee and drinks
All-day
trading
from breakfast through to dinner, with no dependence on a single peak time to drive revenue
No professional kitchen staff. No extraction equipment.
A lean operation delivering strong margins without the complexity of a conventional F&B build
Three flexible formats
high-street café, express, and kiosk – making the model viable across a wide range of site types
Why Partner Bagelstein?
A brand that knows how to build a following. We have spent fifteen years building a brand that people belong to rather than simply visit. That brand identity has been maintained without compromise since day one. The result is an international network where partners have stayed because the model works, the brand retains its character at scale, and the commercial fundamentals remain strong.
The UK market is ready. British consumers already understand and seek out artisan and bakery-led food concepts. They already understand what a bagel is, though they’ve never tasted ones as good as these! There is a gap in the market for a brand with Bagelstein’s combination of product quality, operational simplicity, all-day format, and distinct identity.
A partnership shaped around you. Thanks to our experience in multiple markets, we are able to tailor the exact structure of our partnership around you and your experience, capability and ambition. What will always be consisten is that this should be a long-term partnership committed to building something of real substance.
Everything you need is already built. UK partners enter with immediate access to a proven operating system, comprehensive training across every role, an established supply chain, and marketing and brand frameworks refined across four international markets.
A model that works across a wide range of locations. The full café format (80–150m²) delivers the complete Bagelstein experience for high streets, shopping centres, and leisure destinations. The express format (30–80m²) is built for travel hubs and campus environments where footfall is high and dwell time is short. Kiosk and concession formats cover transport hubs and events.
