Bagel Franchise Looking For A Home In Rockford

Rockford Register Star:

Einstein Noah Restaurant Inc., known for its casual bagel and bakery cafes, is looking to expand its stores to Rockford.

Einstein locations were almost all company-owned less than two years ago. That included all the Chicago stores and the 150 licensed stores in venues such as airports and colleges.

The idea for franchising gained momentum in 2007 after the company-owned and licensed models had been built.
