N.Y.C. Bagel & Sandwich Shop is the brainchild of Joe Smith, an enterprising upstate New Yorker who saw the opportunities back in 1994 for making inroads in the franchise fast-food market. 

Take a proven commodity - everyone's favorite "light" meal, the bagel - and then take it one step further. Offer the original New York bagel, and create a cornerstone for a bagel franchise ... without the typical franchise bagel taste. 

Then structure the business for ease of investment and operation, and "spread the wealth" with other motivated self-starters ... like you, perhaps?

Joe points out that N.Y.C. Bagel & Sandwich Shop is "an easy, workable system that's simple to learn and train for. 

And because the bagels are delivered to the store par-baked, preparing the bagels is, pardon the expression - a piece of cake!" 

As a N.Y.C. Bagel & Sandwich Shop franchisee, you'll receive complete training and counsel every step of the way. Everything from recommendations with site selection and lease negotiations to help with staff selection and marketing development is built into your support. 

Taste a Great Bagel and Taste Success!

According to recent studies, the percentage of food dollars spent away from home is 44 percent, expected to grow to 50 percent by 2016. Plus, since 1995, U.S. bagel sales have increased 500% - thanks to Americans' desires for convenience, taste, and lower-fat alternatives to typical franchise bagel taste. New York Bagel Café & Deli invites you to take a bite out of this growth. 

You'll find that N.Y.C. Bagel & Sandwich Shop runs rings around other bagel shops with a delicious array of complementary foods. Like popular Boar's Head deli meats, the smoothest flavored creamed and quality hard cheeses; succulent smoked salmon and richly brewed gourmet coffees.

And how about super-sized heroes, popular wrap sandwiches, freshly prepared salads, baked fresh muffins and tantalizing cookies? Combine any or all of these items, and N.Y.C. Bagel & Sandwich Shop can bring you a brisk catering business: business meetings, breakfasts, luncheons and parties of all kind.
