How much capital is required?

We'll share specifics during the initial conversation. Expect a six-figure commitment covering buildout, equipment, working capital, and an operating reserve.

What states are you expanding into?

Initially the tri-state area: New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. Other states will be evaluated based on operator interest and logistics.

How long is the typical evaluation process?

3-6 months from first call to signed agreement.

Can I just buy a wholesale account instead?

Yes, and it's often a great first step. Learn about wholesale on our wholesale page.

Expansion Interest List

Bring All Star Bagels to your market.

After 25+ years and over 80 million bagels sold, we're preparing for our next chapter, and we're building a list of operators who want to be first in line.

Track record

Built on a real business. Not a pitch deck.

Most concepts looking for partners are 18 months old with a single location. All Star Bagels has been operating for 25+ years across multiple New Jersey locations, with a proven product, established supplier relationships, and a customer base that returns every weekend.

We're not asking you to bet on something untested. We're asking you to join something that already works.

25+ Years in Operation

Family-owned in NJ since 1994. Survived recessions, supply chain disruptions, and three decades of changing breakfast trends. Customers still come back.

80M+ Bagels Sold

Not a marketing number. Three decades of mornings, weekends, breakfast meetings, and Sunday family runs. The product works at volume.

Multi-Location Track Record

Not one flagship. Multiple Ocean and Monmouth County locations, each operating profitably with consistent product quality.

The playbook

What you'd get as an expansion partner.

Operators who join our future expansion will benefit from a fully developed operational playbook. While we're finalizing our formal partnership structure, here's what we're building toward:

Proven Recipes and Process

25+ years of refinement.

Equipment and Buildout Guidance

Vendor relationships, specs, and layouts.

Operations Training

Hands-on in our Jackson kitchen, two weeks minimum.

Brand and Marketing Support

Name, assets, menu, and playbook from day one.

Supply Chain Access

Wholesale access to flour, mixes, and proprietary ingredients.

Ongoing Support Network

An operator network for troubleshooting and shared learnings.

Who fits

The right operator.

We're not the right partner for everyone, and that's intentional. The operators who tend to thrive in our model:

Have hands-on operating experience: restaurant, café, or food service.

Want to operate the location themselves. This isn't an absentee model.

Have access to the capital required for a full buildout.

Value process and consistency over reinvention.

Are looking for a 5+ year commitment.

If that sounds like you, get on the list. We'll be in touch as our expansion structure finalizes.
