PopUp Bagels celebrated the grand opening of its first New Jersey location at 220 South Avenue in Westfield, according to Levin Management Corporation (LMC), leasing and managing agent for the property. The opening marks the first of more than 25 planned PopUp Bagels locations across the state.
Founded in 2020, PopUp Bagels has built a devoted following by reimagining the traditional bagel experience. Rather than serving sliced bagels for sandwiches, the brand bakes fresh bagels throughout the day and serves them hot and whole, encouraging customers to “Grip. Rip. Dip.” each bagel into a selection of signature whipped schmears and butters.
The award-winning brand is a two-time Brooklyn Bagelfest “Best Bagel” winner and has earned a loyal customer base across multiple states, including New York, Connecticut and Florida. The Westfield location represents an important milestone in the company’s New Jersey expansion strategy.
The 1,500-square-foot shop occupies a freestanding building near downtown Westfield and the NJ Transit train station, positioning the concept to serve local residents, commuters and visitors.
Levin Management Corporation represented the landlord in the transaction. Mike Testa and Matt Kenderian of Catalyst Commercial Real Estate represented PopUp Bagels.
