A bagel chain with an ambitious expansion plan is seeking “prime locations” in Birmingham.

Jeff’s Bagel Run, with 29 restaurants in several states, is also seeking a franchise owner.

The chain is known for its fresh, scratch-made bagels, variety of spreads, treats, coffees and drinks.

Jeff’s Bagel Run has had recent openings in Texas, Florida, Georgia and North Carolina.

“We believe Birmingham is the perfect next step for Jeff’s Bagel Run,” said Justin Wetherill of Jeff’s Bagel Run.

“It’s a vibrant, growing area with a strong sense of community — exactly the kind of place where our brand thrives. We’re not just looking to open a store; we’re looking for a dedicated partner who wants to bring Jeff’s Bagel Run to their community and build something truly special.”

The company is looking for a local entrepreneur or an experienced multi-unit operator.
