āØ Why Spread Bagelry keeps standing out
The National Bagel Day celebration comes on the heels of a big year for the brand. In 2025, Spread Bagelry entered a new era with a renewed focus on hospitality, takeout, and consistency under new CEO Tom Selementi, an industry veteran with deep Philly roots.
Recent highlights include:
- Collaborations with Chef Omar Tate of Honeysuckle Provisions
- The addition of Rival Bros Coffee, a beloved Philly roaster
- Continued emphasis on quality, community, and neighborhood vibes
Founded in Philly, Spread Bagelry has built a loyal following thanks to its signature process: bagels made from scratch, kettle-boiled in honey water, and baked in a wood-fire oven!
