Einstein Bros. Bagels opening hundreds of locations

(CBS, KYMA) - Einstein Bros. Bagels announced Thursday it was planning to open more than 300 new bakeries across the United States by 2030.

The company, founded in 1995 and under the Panera Brands umbrella, currently operates more than 700 locations, meaning the extra locations would bring them up to more than 1,000 in four years.

"Americans have voted with their mornings, and the data is clear: Bagels are winning," said Jessica DePetro, CEO of Einstein Bros. Bagels. "That momentum gives us tremendous confidence in our ability to bring Einstein Bros. to more communities, serve more guests and continue to define the future of the bagel category."

The company has yet to announce the list of upcoming locations.
