Editor's Notes
Not just coffee – most brands based upon bagels / sandwichesMultiple brands – Einstein Bros Bagels, Noah’s Bagels, and much smaller, Chesapeake Bagel Bakery, Manhattan Bagel, and New World Coffee.“Quick casual” – modest prices with good products but not a formal environment; growing market nicheTo consumer is more of a dining choice than coffee choice.Intense competition noted in 10-K; larger firms with more capital and resources. Changing consumer preferences has hurt the brand before.Weather and demand affects commodity prices.
