Why Bagel Bazaar

With over 35 years history and experience in NJ, nobody does it better than us! Our mission, under new CEO Paul Salas, who began his bagel journey at the young age of 15 years old, is to spread the love of the bagel, while making positive impacts to as many communities throughout the US and beyond. 

"I never could have imagined at 15 years old, the bagel had so much power and endless possibilities for myself and the communities that support us", says Paul. "The bagel has given me everything and has now led us to franchising, which has always been a dream of mine. I'm more invigorated now than ever. Let's do this... One bagel at a time!" 

Franchising allows us to be able to share the passion we have with entrepreneurs around the country, who align with our mission and aim to enhance their own communities. 

We look forward to meeting new people and exploring the opportunities that lie ahead. So reach out and start a conversation directly with Paul Salas to begin what could be your very own bagel success story.
