TARPON SPRINGS, FL — Pete’s Bagels, owned by Steven Peterman and his wife, Sara Peterman, is expanding its Florida footprint with a new location planned for 810 Dodecanese Blvd., Tarpon Springs, FL 34689. The waterfront shop is targeting an opening in the first or second week of February, Peterman told Business Debut.
The Tarpon Springs location will mark the brand’s fifth shop. Pete’s Bagels first opened in St. Petersburg in 2019 and has since grown to four additional locations across the Tampa Bay area.
What to Expect
The Tarpon Springs shop will focus on the brand’s core offering: hand-rolled, kettle-boiled bagels baked fresh daily. The location will operate as a fast-casual, counter-service shop, with approximately 45 seats total, most of them outdoors along the water, and about a dozen seats inside.
“This location gives us the chance to lean into the coastal feel of Tarpon Springs while still doing what we do best,” Peterman told Business Debut.
Menu and Vision
The Tarpon Springs location will offer the same core menu found at Pete’s Bagels’ other locations. Bagels are made fresh daily using a traditional boil-and-bake process, with all production handled at the company’s commissary kitchen in Gulfport before being delivered each morning…
