Between Rounds Bakery Sandwich Café, the unique bakery café and bagel shop with locations throughout Connecticut, has recently announced that ShopRite stores in Wallingford and Southington will carry Between Rounds fresh baked bagels.
The two ShopRite stores, owned by Don Drust and family, are located at 846 North Colony Street in Wallingford and 750 Queen Street in Southington. They have become a grocery partner of the family-owned Between Rounds and will offer their signature bagels in ShopRite bakery departments.
“The decision to add Between Rounds bagels to our bakery offerings was an easy one. Between Rounds offers a high quality, consistent product that is absolutely delicious and popular with our customers,” noted Drust.
He continued, “We’re a family-owned business and we enjoy partnering with local businesses. We try to carry as many local products as possible in our stores.”
Between Rounds is the brainchild of Staten Island brothers Jerry and Joe Puiia, who established Between Rounds cafés in Vernon, South Windsor, Manchester and Tolland. The Puiia hallmark is manufacturing and selling their own bagels, which set them apart from other cafés. The popularity of their bagels inspired the Puiias to partner with independent grocers. The bagels are delivered to grocers fully-baked so no additional labor is required of the bakery department.
