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.
