H&H BAGELS

H&H Bagels franchises enable operators to establish and operate restaurants serving authentic, fresh-baked New York-style bagels, signature spreads, smoked fish, and prepared salads for take-out, dine-in, or delivery. The business uses a proprietary system with par-baked bagels finished on-site, drawing from the iconic brand established in 1972. It targets consumers in a competitive market including national chains, local eateries, and other bagel shops seeking high-quality, convenient bagel products.

Data Based On: Data for 3 corporate-owned locations (Upper East Side, Upper West Side, Moynihan Train Hall) for FY 2024. Note that this data is for company-owned units, used because no financial performance data for franchised units was provided.

* Average gross revenue calculated from the sum of FY 2024 Gross Sales of 3 corporate-owned locations (3153260 + 1553961 + 3144795) / 3 = 2617338.67. Best guess profit (operating profit before royalties/brand fund) for each location calculated as Gross Sales - (COGS % * Gross Sales) - (Labor Costs % * Gross Sales). UES Profit: 3153260 - (0.364 * 3153260) - (0.22 * 3153260) = 1311756.16. UWS Profit: 1553961 - (0.372 * 1553961) - (0.188 * 1553961) = 683742.84. MTH Profit: 3144795 - (0.365 * 3144795) - (0.164 * 3144795) = 1481198.44. Average best guess profit (operating profit) is (1311756.16 + 683742.84 + 1481198.44) / 3 = 1158899.15. This average profit is used for both best_guess_profit_low and best_guess_profit_high as no range was provided. Note 3 on page 4 states that UES COGS and Labor Costs figures are inclusive of costs from wholesale business operations until end of January 2024.
