    About Between Rounds Bakery Sandwich Cafe

    When Jerry Puiia moved from New York to Connecticut he knew something wasn't right--there were no bagel shops. With the help of his brother Joe, Puiia opened The Bagel Stop in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1990. When the company began franchising in 1992, its name changed to Between Rounds. Between Rounds shops combine a bagel shop and a catering service with two of the most profitable sections in a supermarket--the deli and the bakery.

    About Jerry's Subs & Pizza

    The first Jerry's Subs opened in Wheaton, Maryland, in 1954, selling over-stuffed submarine sandwiches and New York-style pizza. Since it started franchising in 1980, the company has grown to include locations along the East Coast, as well as in the Caribbean and Central America.
