NY Bagel Cafe Continues Its Southeast Expansion

Restaurant Chain Opens First Location in Louisiana

Opening day on June 22, 2013 was a roaring success in the small town of Houma, LA. “It seemed the whole parish came out to try our food.” – Owners Sonya Ohlmeyer and Tracey Hebert. They expected the soft opening to go well, but this far exceeded their expectations.  The lines for lunch were to the door. There were some long wait times for food, but customers understood that it was the first day and there would be some growing pains. As one customer wrote on the NY Bagel Cafe Houma Facebook page, it was “Worth the wait!”

It wasn’t just a great opening day. It ended up being a great opening week for them as the crowds continued to gather daily and have continued since. The folks in Houma just can’t seem to get enough of NY Bagel Café & Deli.

The successful opening of its Houma, LA location has opened many doors for NY Bagel Cafe. “The reception the brand has received here has been astounding. We are receiving multiple calls a day from individuals wanting to purchase a franchise.” – Joe Smith, CEO NY Bagel Enterprises.

With a reception like this, could New Orleans be the next area to be developed? Keep an eye out for further southeast expansion in the near future.
