Our Ideal Partners
Fifteen years of expanding Bagelstein across four countries has made one thing consistently clear: the quality of the partner determines the quality of the outcome. We are looking for a small number of investors who understand the brand, have the capability to scale it, and have the conviction to represent it properly.
You think in networks, not units
We are not here to sell a single store to someone who wants to test the water. We are looking for partners who have already decided they want to build something at scale and are already thinking 5-10 years ahead to what a well-developed multi-unit network across their own region.
We structure partnerships around the right investor, but in every case the expectation is the same: a multi-site commitment across a defined territory, built over a realistic but ambitious timeline.
Experience with people & food
You need to be someone who has a genuine understanding of what it takes to deliver a consistent customer experience across multiple sites, and the operational expertise to do it.
You have sufficient capital
We are looking for partners who have the capital to invest at the scale required, who have invested at comparable scale before, and understand what that commitment actually involves.
More detailed financial information about your investment and ROI timeline can be discussed directly once you sign an NDA.
You actually get the brand
Our brand has developed a distinct personality which differentiates it from the competition and we have created a successful marketing engine around that. You need to be someone who understands how important that is to your success. Marketing-savvy operators who understand the value of humour, brand theatre, and digital engagement will be particularly well positioned to make the most of this opportunity.
If you recognise yourself here, we’d very much like to have a conversation to see if we are a genuine fit as future partners.
