## Business Overview

Bagels 'n Grinds is a Maryland-based bagel cafe group founded in 2012 by Adam Greenberg. The business is dedicated to delivering the most authentic New York-style bagel experience outside of New York City. Each of its three locations - Hanover (near Arundel Mills), College Park, and Potomac - features a $50,000 glass-enclosed water purification system that produces ultra-purified water engineered to replicate the mineral profile of New York City's tap water, which is widely credited for the distinctive texture and flavor of authentic New York bagels.

Bagels are crafted using a 10-step proprietary process: formed by hand, boiled, and then baked on a hearth stone. The result is a bagel with a crisp outer crust and a soft, doughy, chewy center. Sixteen bagel varieties are baked fresh daily and paired with eight cream cheese shmear options. The full cafe menu extends well beyond bagels, offering omelet-style breakfast sandwiches, hot and cold lunch sandwiches (including the signature bagini - a bagel-panini), salads, soups, wraps, pastries, and an extensive beverage program featuring six hot coffee blends, iced coffee, handcrafted espresso beverages, teas, sodas, and fresh-pressed juice drinks.

Bagels 'n Grinds serves a broad audience including daily commuters, college students, families, remote workers, and corporate clients. In addition to dine-in and takeout service, the business offers catering for events of all sizes - from small office breakfasts to large corporate lunches, school fundraisers, and community gatherings. Each location is designed as a community gathering place, offering free Wi-Fi, outdoor seating, LED TVs, and reservable private conference rooms. The Bagel Bucks loyalty rewards program allows regular customers to earn points toward discounts with every purchase.
