We are actively seeking franchisees who have the drive to succeed in a nationally-recognized concept that places strong emphasis on the success of its franchisees.

Bruegger's has offered franchising opportunities since 1993. We are well positioned to take advantage of the national trend toward quick casual restaurants. Our bakery-cafés offer upscale customers a variety of freshly baked bagels and proprietary cream cheeses - and a whole lot more, like soups, made-to-order salads, custom-blended coffees, deli-style sandwiches, and scrumptious desserts.

Our products are made with all-natural ingredients, and we take pride in providing excellent customer service. We offer a warm, inviting atmosphere for our customers in our newly designed bakery-cafés. Bruegger's franchisees are hard working, results-oriented people who appreciate the benefits of a proven system. They care about customers and enjoy providing healthy, nutritious food at a good value. Our most successful franchisees are involved in managing the day-to-day operations of their bakery-cafés.

Since most Bruegger’s close by 5:00 PM, Bruegger’s franchisees are restaurant owners who also have a life outside of the business. We are actively seeking franchisees who have the drive to succeed in a nationally-recognized concept that places strong emphasis on the success of its franchisees.

We award franchise rights for a minimum commitment of 3 bakeries. We require a minimum liquidity of $150,000 and a net worth of $335,000 per bakery. Previous restaurant experience is ideal, but is not required. Prior business experience, financial qualifications, demonstrated interest and a track record of personal success are also important factors in our evaluation process. However, if the prospective franchisee does not have confirmed multi-unit restaurant experience, the franchisee will be required to hire an operating partner, approved by Bruegger's, with 5-7 years of demonstrable restaurant experience in a successful multi-unit restaurant leadership role. The franchise owner will be required to offer this experienced partner a minimum of 10% equity in the business and provide that he/she have the authority to make all operational decisions with regards to the bakeries owned by the franchisee.
