About Great Canadian Bagel

In April, 1993 "The Great Canadian Bagel, Ltd." began operations with an initial store in Metropolitan Toronto. Featuring 24 varieties of fresh baked bagels, 21 flavours of cream cheese spreads and a selection of soups, salads, and made-to-order sandwiches, the store was an immediate success.
At The Great Canadian Bagel all bagels are baked fresh from recipes calling for only the finest natural ingredients with no preservatives. The majority of stores are equipped with an on-premise bakery enabling customers to watch the bagels being made and smell the aroma as they are taken from the oven. This combination of high quality product, attractive store atmosphere and their constant focus on providing the highest level of customer service all work together to set The Great Canadian Bagel a notch above the competition in the fast growing Bagel segment of the Foodservice market.
