Buy a Noah’s New York Bagels Franchise

Noah’s New York Bagels was founded in 1989 by Noah Alper in Berkeley, California, introducing the West Coast to authentic New York-style bagels. The brand grew steadily, expanding to 38 stores by 1996 when it was acquired by Einstein Bros. Bagels for $100 million. Noah’s became part of a larger bagel conglomerate under Einstein Bros., which later merged with Panera Brands in 2021. Known for its high-quality, fresh-baked bagels and commitment to traditional New York recipes, Noah’s helped popularize bagels outside their traditional markets. The brand’s legacy continues within Einstein Bros., serving customers nationwide with a focus on fresh, flavorful bagels and complementary cafe offerings.
