Philadelphia, PA - Bagels and Co. is about to take over Philadelphia with a citywide expansion that will see six new bagel and coffee shops expand to six new locations. Glu Hospitality and co-owners Derek Gibbons and Tim Lu announce that the popular Northern Liberties-based bagel, coffee, lunch, and deli shop will now open new locations in Fishtown, Brewerytown, Temple Campus, Rittenhouse, Midtown Village, and Center City. 
 
The first new location is now ready! Bagels and Co. Fishtown will grand open this Friday, November 18th, with a free bagel and cream cheese giveaway between 8:00 am to 10:00 am, and no purchase is necessary. On Saturday, November 19th, the grand opening continues with free coffee from 9:00 am to 11:00 am.
 
On Small Business Saturday on Saturday, November 26th, Bagels and Co. will offer a free $10 gift card when you purchase a $50 gift card, plus a free small hot/iced coffee when you show your receipt ($20 or more) from shopping in a local small business in Fishtown, Kensington or Northern Liberties. 
 
"Fishtown and Northern Liberties are two of the hottest and fastest growing food neighborhoods in Philadelphia right now," said Gibbons. "We loved the neighborhood, our neighbors, and working with the Fishtown District and fellow businesses during the opening of Izakaya by Yanaga. The location came on the main strip along Girard Avenue, and we couldn't say no. We see a ton of foot traffic to Northern Liberties from this area, and customers have requested time and time again for us to bring Bagels and Co. across Girard. We are thrilled to expand our footprint in Fishtown, and hopefully, we will have more news to come. This fall, look for Glu Hospitality at Izakaya by Yanaga, Omakase by Yanaga and Bagels and Co." 
 

Just in time for the grand opening, Bagels and Co. will debut their first-ever winter drink menu - including: 

* Candy Cane Mocha - Peppermint and Mocha
* ChaiNog - Eggnog and Chai
* Christmas Morning Latte - White Mocha, Chai, Cinnamon Sprinkles
* Peppermint Bark Latte - Peppermint, White Mocha, Mocha
* Eggnog Latte - Eggnog and Espresso
* Apple Cider - Cinnamon, Apple Cinnamon, Cinnamon Sprinkles
* Peanut Butter White Mocha - Peanut butter and white mocha 
 
Each location that opens will have an exclusive sandwich specialized and inspired for each neighborhood. For the Fishtown location, the Fishtown signature exclusive lunch sandwich will be the Frankford Ave - and it will feature jerk turkey, pepper jack cheese, bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and chipotle aioli - served on a choice of bagel or bread. The exclusive Fishtown breakfast sandwich will feature a choice of bagel, beyond sausage, just egg with a choice of vegan cheese. 
 
These join the Second Street lunch sandwich in Northern Liberties, which features chicken cutlet, lettuce, tomato, bacon, mozzarella, mayo, and red wine vinegar, and the No Libs breakfast sandwich, which features a choice of bagel, with fried eggs, provolone, pickled onions, tomato, and lemon aioli. 
 
Bagels and Co. operate all operations out of their Northern Liberties flagship location at the Piazza on Philadelphia's restaurant row, at 1001 N. 2nd Street, nestled between their other restaurants Figo, Set No Libs, and Anejo Philadelphia. With the opening of other new locations, this will change soon - stay tuned for that. 
 
Bagels and Co. was a pandemic pivot for the hospitality company known before 2020 as an expert in the nightlife, entertainment, game day, and bottle service space. They have now grown to become one of Philadelphia's largest growing hospitality and restaurant groups, with Vesper Center City, Leda and the Swan, Bagels, and Co., Figo Ristorante, Figo Pizzeria, Set NoLibs, Anejo Philadelphia, Izakaya by Yanaga, Omakase by Yanaga - with six additional restaurant and bar concepts to come in late 2022 and early 2023. They will also take another of their brands from ghost kitchen to brick and mortar later this year. 
 
Hours for Fishtown and Northern Liberties are 7:00 am to 3:00 pm, seven days a week.
