Like many people Adam Goldberg started to bake during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Goldberg specifically baked bagels, selling them to friends out the back window of his kitchen in Westport.
That hobby turned into an idea that became PopUp Bagels.
“Fast forward two or three years, he opened a store in Westport, opened another store in Greenwich, and then in the city, and it's really just exploded,” PopUp Bagels CFO Jamie Lissette told the CBIA BizCast.
PopUp has achieved success quickly, thanks in part to social media.
“It's just really organic, because people love the product. So it makes it really super easy.”
Lissette discussed the company's Connecticut roots and plans for growth.
“We only have five stores,” he said. “In the next six months, we’ll add almost seven stores.”
“We love Connecticut,” Lissette said, adding "We've got this great runway to really become nationwide with the concept.”
