Einstein Noah Restaurant Group

Einstein Noah Restaurant Group was a leading American operator and franchisor in the quick-casual restaurant industry, primarily known for its bagel-centric brands. The company managed a portfolio that included Einstein Bros. Bagels, Noah's New York Bagels, and Manhattan Bagel, providing breakfast and lunch options across hundreds of locations in the United States. It focused on high-quality ingredients and a diverse menu of bagels, sandwiches, and specialty coffees. Headquartered in Lakewood, Colorado, the group maintained a significant presence in both company-owned and franchised formats. In 2014, the company was acquired by JAB Holding Company for approximately $374 million, leading to its transition from a public entity to a private subsidiary. Following the acquisition, the brands were integrated into JAB's broader food and beverage portfolio.
