Brand History

Einstein Bros. Bagels was founded in June 1995, in Ogden, Utah by the restaurant corporation Boston Chicken. In March 1995 Boston Chicken, Inc. originally formed the Einstein and Noah Bagel Corporation as Progressive Bagel Concepts, Incorporated (PBCI) by purchasing four retail bagel chains: Brackman Brothers, Incorporated (Salt Lake City), Offerdahl’s Bagel Gourmet, Incorporated (Fort Lauderdale), Baltimore Bagel (San Diego) and Bagel & Bagel, Incorporated (Kansas City). All of these were located in regions of the United States without a longstanding bagel tradition.
