WE’RE TAKING PEORIA TO NEW YORK CITY! 🥯🗽

This November, Bright-O Bagels is heading to NYC for BagelUp’s Growth Lab, and I couldn’t be more excited!

We’re going to learn, meet people, build relationships, and figure out how to take this little bagel project to the next level.

Here’s the reality: Opening a restaurant is incredibly difficult. Building one that can sustain itself is even harder.

Some days we do $1,000 in sales. Other days we do $3,500. We’ve worked incredibly hard to get here, but we’ve hit a ceiling. Now it’s time to break through it. And then the next one. And the next.

I believe growth comes from putting yourself out there, learning from people who know more than you, making connections, and taking chances.

We’re not going to New York to become a New York bagel shop. We’re going to build a better PEORIA bagel shop.

Something this community can be proud of. Something worth supporting, believing in, and growing together.

We’re still small. We’re still figuring it out. But we’re building something we want to last for years to come.

Thank you, Peoria, for believing in us. We’re bringing everything we learn right back home.

We’re just getting started. ❤️🥯

When I first heard of @Bagelfest it was a dream to be able to participate. I applied to just see what would happen but kept my expectations managed. I can't tell you how incredibly ecstatic to find out i would be participating. I can't wait to meet all the talented bagelers across the country. 🤩

If you’ve picked up then you know what to look for.

I instantly well up thinking about my Momma, just so much strength and so much love. She’s super human.

Fuck, that sandwich was seriously incredible. If your are ever in Indy that’s a non negotiable stop.

How to start a business for dummies.

Need Alex to come back to Michigan, pics just haven’t been the same.

Sam and Rory, y’all rock! I missed my fam so much during that short trip. Learned a ton though, super surreal experience.

Market days are the best days, always so much fun to see the excitement in others. Thank you!!!

Now I’m crying, our kids take such an interest, and Sarah… damn I love you so much. With every breath. Thank you for believing in me.

Keep showing up for us please! Tell your friends! And tell us what you need! We want to keep going forward! Thank you for literally everything!
