“Bagel Boy has thrived under Chuck’s leadership,” he said. “Breakfast is the fastest growing daypart in the United States and bagel sales are growing nearly three-times as fast as the broader baked goods category. By adding Bagel Boy’s outstanding products to our existing portfolio, including croissants, biscuits, and English muffins, as well as our extensive sweet goods capabilities, we further enhance Crown’s position as the preferred one-stop-shop baker in the industry.”

Bouchrouche agreed with Caparos and said he was excited to continue Bagel Boy’s growth with such a revered company.

“Crown’s reputation, industry expertise, resources and approach made them the right choice to partner with as we enter our next growth phase,” he said. “By joining the Crown family, we can leverage the combined scale of our businesses and offer a more comprehensive portfolio of high-quality baked goods to our deeply valued customers.”

The Bagel Boy acquisition is the fourth add-on to the Crown portfolio in just over a year, marking another milestone in the group’s rapid expansion.
