What does it take?

At Manhattan Bagel, we've put together a franchise business that focuses on growing the brand in the core geography of our brand strength. We believe this presents the best opportunity for individual success and reinforces our already strong brand position in these markets.

We seek to grow with highly qualified franchisees. It is fundamental that you bring a solid business background as well as the financial capacity to make a franchising investment. Initial development estimates range from $251,750 to $604,500 depending on your market and build-out costs.

Our thorough pre-selection process brings only those candidates to the table that have the potential to be successful and thereby strengthen the brand as well as elevate all other franchisees and the value of the overall brand. Therefore, we require that any franchising candidates have either first-hand experience in the restaurant industry or have a partnered relationship with someone who does.

A Successful, Existing Franchise Support System

One of the great strengths of the Manhattan Bagel franchise is the existing franchisee field support structure that began at its inception and has been honed and polished ever since. At Manhattan Bagel, our senior management positions are filled with industry veterans who bring a strong operations background to the business.

We've got experienced leadership in all our supporting departments. In addition, our program extends to day-to-day operations in each individual store, from topical training to supplying the right manuals for thorough field support. While we strive to uphold our stated brand standards, we also work with franchisees on a consultative basis through our Franchise Consultant network to continually improve and move the brand forward.

We also have an in-house culinary department that ranks with the best in the industry. Our culinary researchers and seasoned chefs are in a constant quest for the next, next -thing. As a result, our franchisees get to showcase that cutting edge culinary prowess in their markets.
