Brooklyn Water Bagel, the Florida bagel brand known for its authentic New York-style bagels, has opened two new units at 1319 St. Lucie West Blvd. and 10350 Southwest Village Center Drive in Port St. Lucie, Fla. The latter is corporate owned, while the other is a franchise owned by Dean Tendrich, a well-known TV meteorologist and businessman in southern Florida.
At Brooklyn Water Bagel, it’s “All About The Water,” due to the brand’s proprietary, multi-step water filtration and purification process that replicates the mineral content of New York’s water – the best for baking – creating its signature bagels.
“Bringing Brooklyn Water Bagel to Port St. Lucie means a lot to me — it’s not just about the bagels and coffee, it’s about sharing something special with the community I’ve called home for many years,” said Tendrich. “I’m excited to open a restaurant where my neighbors can count on great food, friendly faces, and an atmosphere that makes them want to come back again and again. Being part of this iconic brand’s continued growth has been an absolutely incredible experience.:
The opening on St. Lucie West Blvd is part of a 10-unit deal and is Tendrich’s first official new store.
“Opening two locations in Port St. Lucie continues to solidify our brand as a breakfast and lunch mainstay in Florida. Our outlook is focused on growth, quality, authenticity, and as always, happy service,” said Dan Smith, CEO of Brooklyn Water Bagel. “We’re committed to bringing the authentic New York bagel experience to more communities through both our corporate locations and our franchised restaurants. Dean’s passion for our brand and the community makes him an ideal partner for our continued growth.”
