## Story

Cummings, who has a passion for baking, has been a bagel maker at Between Rounds for the past seven years. His previous experience includes baking bread and more as a baker for Sprouts Farmers Market in Denver, CO.

In his new role as Between Rounds’ Assistant Production Manager, Cummings will work closely with Joseph Puiia, co-founder of the company. He will hold an active role in product development, which includes creating innovative flavors of bagels, cream cheeses and sandwiches. He will manage inventory and continue to oversee bagel production, which includes baking, shaping and seeding.

Currently, Cummings is pursuing an associate in science degree in the Culinary Arts program at Manchester Community College.

In his free time, Cummings has hobbies that include world cuisine and board game design. He is excited to add new flavors to Between Rounds’ traditional deli selections.

The family-owned Between Rounds has been in business for more than three decades and is the brainchild of brothers Jerry and Joseph Puiia, who are Staten Island, NY natives. The Puiia hallmark is manufacturing and selling their own bagels. Between Rounds has wholesale partnerships with independent, family-owned and multi-location grocery retailers, innovative dairy delivery services (such as The Modern Milkman), hospitality groups, and others in Connecticut and Massachusetts.
