The autumn harvest months of the fourth quarter turned up a rich crop of newly opened licensed locations for Einstein Bros. Bagels as it continues to nourish consumers and food service groups alike with the three elements that distinguish the brand as a preferred dining option: taste, freshness and convenience.
Building on the record growth it reaped in 2009, the popular quick-casual bakery chain has already planted the seeds for another record year in 2010.
“License expansion is key to achieving our vision of becoming the fastest-growing fast casual chain in North America” said Jeff O’Neill, chief executive officer of Einstein Noah Restaurant Group, Inc. “When dining management groups decide which brands they want in their facilities, they know that we are a leader in offering quality, freshness and convenience where portability and affordability are essential.”
