originally started by MN owners, they are now part of an umbrella of companies part of which is Peet's coffee (in certain markets) Caribou coffee (in certain markets and internationally), Brugger's Bagels, and Einstein bagels. One of Caribou's newer concepts is the coffee and bagels stores, it brings some of the products together (crossover), and leverages a bigger buying power and supply chain. They are keeping it a local feel because that was a big part of the success and business model. They are smart to keep it that way, as it is a fun place to be. They are managed locally, and I think they have done a great job of preserving the integrity of 'the local shop's, hope this helps!
Because they serve coffee and bagels.
More accurately: it is coffee, bagels, and pre-made sandwiches. You can choose whatever sandwich you want as long as you want a plain bagel and it made 6 hours before hand.
Cool, thanks dan
