Between Rounds Establishes Grocery Partnership with ShopRite in Enfield

Between Rounds Bakery Sandwich Café, the unique bakery café and bagel shop with locations throughout Connecticut, has recently partnered with ShopRite in Enfield to supply fresh baked bagels to their customers.

The ShopRite store, which is owned by Raymond Miller, his son Charles and daughter Marybeth Duffy as Miller Farm Family Markets, is located in Brookside Plaza Shopping Center, 40 Hazard Avenue in Enfield.

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.

Raymond and Charles Miller, along with their store manager Bob Hendrickson and bakery manager Tim Moreau, met with the Puiia brothers and decided that Between Rounds product would be a perfect fit for their bakery. As a grocery partner, Miller Farm Family Markets ShopRite will offer Between Rounds signature bagels in their bakery department.

“This is a good example of one family business working with another to bring local products to the community. Between Rounds provides an exceptional product which we are delighted to make available to our customers,” said Raymond Miller.

In addition to ShopRite in Enfield, Between Rounds has established grocery partnerships with ShopRite stores in Manchester, East Harford, Southington and Wallingford; Highland Park Markets in Suffield, Farmington, Manchester, Coventry and Glastonbury; West Side Marketplace in Rocky Hill; Geissler’s Supermarkets in Agawam, Bloomfield, East Windsor, Granby, Somers and South Windsor; Lyman Orchards Apple Barrel Market in Middlefield and Gardiner’s Market in South Glastonbury.

Independent grocer owners or store managers interested in carrying Between Rounds bagels may contact Jerry or Joe Puiia at (860) 291-0323.

The ShopRite Cooperative

ShopRite is the largest retailer-owned cooperative in the United States. All ShopRite owners are members of Wakefern Food Corporation. To learn more about ShopRite, visit www.shoprite.com.

Incubator Plan and Fast Casual franchise Between Rounds Café offer Fresh Start

June 17, 2015 //  by admin

location imageFast casual dining is the fastest growing segment in the restaurant industry. Looking to get in on the ground floor? Between Rounds Bakery Sandwich Café, a unique fast casual bakery café and bagel shop with locations throughout Connecticut, has rolled out an “Incubator Plan”, a low-entry Kiosk franchise option with a reduced franchise fee.

How it Works

With Between Rounds’ Incubator Plan, the franchise fee for a Between Rounds Kiosk store has been reduced from $20K to $5K. The franchise fee covers hard costs such as legal work, store design and menu board design.

Between Rounds’ Kiosk business model is unique in that it enables convenience and gas station store owners/operators (including third party owners who pay rent) to increase profits from their existing locations by offering Between Rounds fresh baked bagels and baked goods as well as breakfast and lunch sandwiches, wraps, salads, soups and specialty coffees. Ultimately, store traffic increases and leads to additional sales from products that are already sold. Patrons will enjoy Between Rounds’ neighborhood feel, their modern, comfortable interior and delicious food. Plus all locations offer free Wi-Fi for customers.

The overall investment for a Between Rounds Kiosk is approximately $120K. Financing for Kiosk operations is available through third parties.

Between Rounds franchised their first Kiosk store model in Tolland in 2013. That successful franchise, owned and operated by Sami Kahn, is located at 206 Merrow Road, at the Citgo Express Gas Station.  According to Kahn, “I had looked into a number of coffee and fast food opportunities and was very impressed with Between Rounds from the start.  The products are very high quality and very fresh because they are made every day.  That is my main motivation – to provide the best product possible to customers.”
