Bagel Corner has seen the number of outlets in France grow by more than 50 % per year over the past 3 years, with 1.2 million bagels consumed by 2020, and a network of 50 restaurants in France, with a target of 100 restaurants by 2025, 250 in Europe and the first establishments abroad (Belgium & Reunion Island).
The bagel market is expected to be worth over 350 million by 2025. And even though major fast-food players such as Speed Burger and McDonald's offer a bagel à la carte, they are not 100 % bagels and do not offer as complete a range as Bagel Corner.
In 2020, Bagel Corner came out on top thanks to its excellent business model and the cohesion of its network. As terraces and on-site restaurants gradually reopened, Bagel Corner doubled or even tripled the number of deliveries. Recipes were adapted and improved to suit this new way of eating. Delivery has been a real success for Bagel Corner, which has made it a strategic area of development, enabling it to emerge bigger and stronger from the health crisis!
