PORT ST. LUCIE, FL — Brooklyn Water Bagel, a leading Floridian bagel brand known for its authentic New York-style bagels, announced the opening of two new locations in Port St. Lucie, FL.

The brand has introduced a new corporate location and a franchised restaurant owned by Dean Tendrich, a TV personality and businessman in southern Florida. Customers can now find breakfast and lunch offerings at the two stores, open daily from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m.

“Bringing Brooklyn Water Bagel to Port St. Lucie means a lot to me — it’s not just about the bagels and coffee, it’s about sharing something special with the community I’ve called home for many years,” Tendrich said. “I’m excited to open a restaurant where my neighbors can count on great food, friendly faces, and an atmosphere that makes them want to come back again and again. Being part of this iconic brand’s continued growth has been an absolutely incredible experience.”

Tendrich has eyes on expansion for the bagel brand, with more locations in the works. The opening of the Port St. Lucie franchise shop — Tendrich’s first official new store — is part of a 10-unit deal and joins the bagel franchise’s growing footprint across the Sunshine State.

“Opening two locations in Port St. Lucie continues to solidify our brand as a breakfast and lunch mainstay in Florida,” said Dan Smith, CEO of Brooklyn Water Bagel. “Our outlook is focused on growth, quality, authenticity, and as always, happy service. We’re committed to bringing the authentic New York bagel experience to more communities through both our corporate locations and our franchised restaurants. Dean’s passion for our brand and the community makes him an ideal partner for our continued growth.”
