NEW YORK, Oct. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — From backyard pickup to Broadway, PopUp Bagels<\/u><\/a> is officially taking its biggest stage yet. The \u201cNot Famous but Known\u00ae\u201d bagel brand, today, opens the doors to its new Times Square location at 1501 Broadway, representing a full-circle moment and a love letter to the city where it all started.<\/p>\n

While PopUp Bagels was born in founder Adam Goldberg\u2019s backyard in Westport, Connecticut, New York City has played a defining role in its story. After a pandemic passion project became a hometown craze, PopUp opened its first NYC brick-and-mortar shop in Manhattan\u2019s Greenwich Village, where New Yorkers quickly embraced its intentionally simple approach: hot, whole bagels served by the bag, with schmears made for ripping and dipping. Long lines, locations across the country, and a loyal fanbase soon followed. Along the way, PopUp has pioneered Grip, Rip and Dip\u00ae and turned the delicious act of eating a bagel into a national sensation<\/p>\n

\u201cNew York has been such an important part of the PopUp story, so opening a shop in Times Square feels pretty surreal,\u201d said Adam Goldberg, Founder of PopUp Bagels. \u201cWhat started with people picking up bags of hot bagels from my backyard has turned into this incredible community of people who genuinely love the brand and everything it stands for. New Yorkers have brought so much energy and excitement to what we do, and to now have a home in the city\u2019s heartbeat feels deeply special.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, PopUp Bagels has a permanent space at one of the most recognizable addresses in the world, a reflection of its impact on New York’s culture, not just its food scene. The simple concept has become a canvas for limited-edition drops and collaborations, bringing unexpected names and flavors to life. PopUp invites iconic brands and cultural tastemakers into their world through limited time schmears, reimagining familiar flavors like Wingstop, Guinness, Grillo\u2019s, Poppi, and Papa John\u2019s into something guests can only experience with a Grip, Rip and Dip\u00ae of a PopUp bagel. The brand also teamed up with the Jonas Brothers on a \u201cBurning Up\u201d Schmear ahead of their Madison Square Garden shows and stepped into the ballroom with \u201cDancing with the Stars\u201d<\/strong> for its Mirrorball Medley Schmear, among other collaborations that have brought music, entertainment and pop culture together seamlessly.<\/p>\n

Continuing its tradition of creative and locally rooted collaborations, PopUp Bagels is bringing a New York touch to their Times Square opening with a New York Strawberry Cheesecake Schmear and an Everything but the Pastrami Butter, the latter in collaboration with the city\u2019s beloved Katz’s Delicatessen. To further pay homage to the city that never sleeps, visitors can stop by the Times Square store daily between 7:00 AM and 9:00 PM, marking the latest hours of any PopUp location in the city that never sleeps.<\/p>\n

PopUp Bagels is celebrating the store\u2019s debut with a grand opening today, October 16th, with doors opening at 7:00 AM featuring a live DJ, exclusive NYC merch for the first guests in line, beverages from Saint James, La Colombe, and Natalie\u2019s, and, of course, plenty of hot bagels.<\/p>\n

\u201cTimes Square is one of the most iconic destinations in New York City, and the world. Opening here is symbolic of how far we\u2019ve come, and a true celebration for the community that has brought us to where we are and where we are headed,\u201d said Tory Bartlett, CEO of PopUp Bagels. \u201cWe can’t wait to welcome New Yorkers and longtime fans, but we’re especially excited to introduce visitors from around the world to the PopUp Bagels experience. For so many travelers, Times Square is their first stop in New York, and we’re thrilled to be part of that moment\u201d<\/p>\n

The Times Square shop strengthens PopUp Bagels\u2019 New York City footprint amid its national expansion, bringing its signature experience to new communities across the country. This location will feature PopUp\u2019s usual lineup of Plain, Everything, Poppy, Salt and Sesame bagels, alongside classic Plain and Scallion Cream Cheese, Salted Butter and Brown Sugar Cinnamon Butter, plus the rotating limited-edition schmears and collaborations that have become a namesake to the brand. Bagels are sold by the bag and meant to be enjoyed the PopUp way: Grip, Rip and Dip\u00ae. Guests can walk in or pre-order at PopUpBagels.com<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n
