Jeff’s Bagel Run Expands to Myrtle Beach With Three-Store Franchise Agreement

The first Jeff’s Bagel Run location is planned for 4112 River Oaks Dr, Myrtle Beach, SC 29579, with additional locations planned throughout the Myrtle Beach area.

Jennifer Yanakiev and Brian Edelen will lead the development of the three locations, bringing Jeff’s Bagel Run’s signature fresh-baked bagels and hospitality-focused experience to one of the Southeast’s fastest-growing coastal markets. Jennifer and Brian have been with the Hungry Howie’s Pizza brand for over 30 years.

“Myrtle Beach is a market we’ve had our eye on for a long time,” said Jeff Perera, Co-Founder of Jeff's Bagel Run. “The area has incredible year-round growth, strong local community support and a thriving tourism economy. We believe Jeff’s Bagel Run is going to be a perfect fit for both locals and visitors looking for a breakfast experience built around quality and freshness.”

Jeff’s Bagel Run has built a loyal following by focusing on a simple but uncompromising philosophy: fresh bagels made the right way, every single day. Every shop rolls, boils and bakes its bagels fresh in-house throughout the day, paired with house-made spreads, craft coffee, espresso beverages, Red Bull infusions and other specialty drinks.

“As we continue expanding throughout the Southeast, we’re focused on finding operators who truly believe in the product and the guest experience,” Perera added. “We’re excited to bring our brand to Myrtle Beach and continue building momentum in South Carolina.”

The Myrtle Beach agreement is part of Jeff’s Bagel Run’s broader national expansion strategy. The brand currently has 39 open locations across Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Nevada, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas, with more than 120 additional locations in development nationwide.
