    Company Overviews

    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.

    A Different Kind of Eatery Franktitude is a top notch alternative to fast food and quicker and more affordable than fast casual.

At Franktitude, you can eat as healthy�or as hearty�as you want. The Franktitude footprint is small which makes for a lower investment than most other restaurant franchises. Little or no actual cooking takes place which means exceptionally easy day-to-day operations.
