Bruegger’s Franchise Opportunities – History

Bruegger’s was founded in 1983 in Burlington, Vermont, by Nord Brue and Mike Dressel, the first to bring New York-style bagels to neighborhoods across America. They first worked with a professional bagel baker in New York City for 2 years, perfecting their recipe. Then they developed their concept into a fast-casual bagel bakery, a comfortable place to enjoy breakfast, lunch, or a mid-day coffee break. Today, nearly 30 years after the first Bruegger’s opened, there are more than 300 Bruegger’s bakeries in 26 states and Canada.
