Native Realty is helping the popular Philadelphia founded Bagels & Co. concept expand quickly across Florida. Firm CEO Jaime Sturgis is exclusively representing Bagels & Co. in its search for new store locations, and just finalized leases in Davie (Nova Southeastern University), Gainesville (University of Florida) and Tallahassee (Florida State University).
A big hit with college students who love Bagels & Co.’s Brooklyn-style bagels and innovative cream cheese flavors, the Company’s three new stores are on the campuses of major universities. Bagels & Co. first debuted in Florida in late 2022, with a Fort Lauderdale store.
In Davie, Bagels & Co. leased 1,498 square feet within Nova Southeastern University’s Modera Academical Village at 3440 SW 76th Terrace. It will be the Company’s third Broward County location, following the recent opening of a 2,500-square-foot shop in Wilton Manors.
The 2,788-square-foot Gainesville store is located two blocks from the University of Florida campus, located at 1111 W. University Ave. In Tallahassee, Bagels & Co. leased 2,021 square feet at 799 W. Gaines St. next door to the Florida State University campus.
Sturgis is actively pursuing locations in Hollywood and Pompano Beach for Bagels & Co.
“We are proud to represent Bagels & Co., they offer a high-quality product at reasonable prices, something that everyone can appreciate,” Sturgis said. “Bagels & Co. has aggressive expansion goals throughout Florida, and our relationships and market knowledge are helping it quickly reach those goals. These new college campus locations will be incredibly well-received by students, faculty members and visitors.”
Native operates from a Fort Lauderdale office that is double the size of its previous headquarters. The 4,000-square-foot office is located at 1926 E. Sunrise Blvd. in the city’s Victoria Park neighborhood.
