Bantam Bagels
seizes opportunity for
lightning-fast growth

Then, last month, the Olesaks announced
they had struck a deal to put Bantam Bagels in more than 7,700 Starbucks locations nationwide.
"We're really excited," Nick says. "It's a
huge step for us, and we see it as the real
beginning of where things can really go
for the company."
Announced at the same time were
deals to put the bite-sized bagel bites in
more than 600 grocery stores, including
Kroger, Safeway and Fred Meyer.

o say that Bantam Bagels has gone
through some growth in the last
three years would be a massive understatement. The New York City-based

T

company had already seen its business
skyrocket since owners Nick and Elyse
Olesak quit their jobs on Wall Street and
opened the doors to a small retail shop

The way the Olesaks and the company
have adapted to this rapid growth is a
lesson in flexibility, a willingness to learn
and networking.

'Get it done'
The Olesaks made the first batch of Bantam Bagels in their apartment, after Nick
awoke from a dream with the idea that
bagels should be bite-sized and filled
with cream cheese. They tested the recipes on friends and family until they felt
comfortable opening a retail shop.
Even after an appearance on Shark Tank,
which led to a spot on QVC, the couple
was doing everything themselves, "working 27-hour days," as Nick says.

way to get it done at that moment was
