SSP America will open and operate Einstein Bros., Noah’s Bagels and Manhattan Bagel restaurants in U.S. airports over the next five years, Einstein Noah Restaurant Group Inc. announced Tuesday.
“This agreement brings together two companies with proven and growing track records in the airport dining arena,” said Paul Carolan, senior vice president of franchising and licensing for Einstein Noah Restaurant Group. “Einstein Bros., Noah’s and Manhattan have the wide variety of high quality menu offerings that we believe travelers are looking for while they await their departure and after they land, and SSP America is one of the premier providers of concessions for the airport market.”
The eateries’ menus offer sandwiches, soups, desserts, coffee and, of course, bagels. There are more than 600 locations in 36 states.
“We are excited to work with Einstein Bros. Our mutual growth strategies complimented with Einstein Bros.’ exceptional focus on product quality and service delivery will further strengthen our brand portfolio” says Les Cappetta, chief executive officer of SSP America.
