Jeff’s Bagel Run is celebrating two groups that do so much for their communities by offering a special thank-you to teachers and nurses during Teacher Appreciation Day and Nurses Appreciation Day.

On Tuesday, May 5, 2026, teachers can receive a free bagel and spread with any beverage purchase at participating Jeff’s Bagel Run locations. On Wednesday, May 6, 2026, the same offer will be available for nurses. Guests must show a valid work ID at the time of purchase to redeem.

“At Jeff’s Bagel Run, community has always been at the heart of what we do,” said Jeff Perera, co-founder of Jeff’s Bagel Run. “Teachers and nurses show up for others every single day, and this is a small way for us to say thank you and show our appreciation.”

Known for its scratch-made bagels baked fresh throughout the day, house-whipped spreads and growing lineup of craft beverages, Jeff’s Bagel Run continues to build neighborhood bagel shops designed to bring people together. The brand’s appreciation day offers are intended to recognize the dedication, care and impact teachers and nurses make in communities across the country.

The offer is valid in-shop only, at participating stores, on the designated appreciation day for each profession and cannot be combined with other offers. Limit one per guest with a valid work ID.
