How Important Is It to Offer Customers Frozen Bagels?

You may think they’re just a starter item on a long breakfast buffet. Maybe you’ve even seen them used for
sandwiches, and thought it was just a trend that would quickly pass. Truthfully though, if you’ve ever seen a bagel and haven’t considered selling it in your restaurant, grocery store, or cafeteria, you’re missing out on a huge market!

Exactly when the bagel came into existence in America can be (and is) widely debated; but it was in the 1960s that Americans really started to demand this salty and savory breakfast treat. In fact, it’s been just in the last 50 years or so that consumption has increased by 20 percent. Today, Americans eat about four pound of bagels per person each and every year. And most of that consumption comes from frozen bagels even if the benefactor doesn’t realize it!

Clearly, we love bagels and we eat a lot of them! If have a breakfast or a lunch menu, and you don’t have bagels topping the list, you can bet a number of people will be disappointed. And they make look elsewhere for their bagel fix.
