Just last month, Jeff and Danielle Perera of Orlando’s homegrown Jeff’s Bagel Run announced a partnership with 1337 Capital with plans to take their humble bagel run nationwide, but this expansion clearly begins at home.
Word has dropped that plans are in the works for two new metro-area bagel shops in Winter Park (1336 N. Orange Ave.) and Celebration at the Celebration Pointe Shopping Center before year’s end.
“We are so excited to bring our delicious bagels and friendly atmosphere to the residents and visitors of Celebration, Florida,” said Perera in a press release. “Both stores will feature an open-kitchen concept with bar seating so guests can watch the bagel-making magic.”

The 1,127-square foot space in Winter Park will be familiar to foodies, located adjacent to Black Bean Deli and sharing shopping center space with Jimmy Johns. This stretch, familiar to the city’s foodies, is also home to the Buttermilk Bakery, Foxtail Farmhouse/Swine & Sons, The Courtesy Bar and Reel Fish Coastal Kitchen + Bar.
Over in Celebration, the Bagel Run joins the ranks of a 127,000-square foot retail center, with direct visibility to I-4 and its 210,000+ cars’ worth of daily traffic.
“We are hard at work focusing on bringing Jeff’s Bagel Run to as many communities in Central Florida as we can this year,” says 1337 Capital Founder Justin Wetherill on behalf of this new partnered venture. “Our expansion is coming along just as planned and we are on schedule with our 4-6 openings this calendar year.”
Jeff’s Bagel Run currently has shops in Ocoee and Orlando’s College Park neighborhood. More details: jeffsbagelrun.com
