Spread Bagelry Opening its 3rd Southeast Location in Downtown Charleston, South Carolina

CHARLESTON, S.C. – Spread Bagelry, a Montreal-style wood oven bagel establishment that opened its first Southeast location in Mount Pleasant’s Oyster Park community in June 2023, is launching a new storefront in downtown Charleston this month.

Located at 595 King St. in Suite 133, Spread Bagelry will begin serving its distinctive bagels to the public during the week of January 22. The shop is situated beneath the Hoffler Place apartment community at the corner of King and Spring Streets.

“We are thrilled to bring our bagels to the heart of the Holy City,” said Jamie Schrotberger, CEO of Spread Bagelry. “Charleston has given Spread an incredibly warm welcome since we opened our first location in Mount Pleasant, and we’re excited to establish new connections within the downtown community.”

Founded in Philadelphia in 2010, Spread Bagelry has established 12 locations in Pennsylvania, one in New Jersey, one in Georgia, and now two in South Carolina. The brand takes pride in the idea that each Spread Bagelry is unique, mirroring the individuality of their bagels. To date, their first location in the state has continued to distinguish itself by setting new sales records across shops nationwide. 

Spread Bagelry is continuing expansion in Charleston following its grand opening in Savannah, Georgia earlier this month. After gaining popularity and a cult following in the greater Philadelphia area, COO Brooks Tanner and CEO Jamie Schrotberger decided to bring their bagel down South in 2023.

By definition, a Montreal-style bagel is distinctly boiled in honey water and baked in a wood-fire oven. In comparison to what we know as New York-style bagels, Montreal-style bagels have a golden brown crust and are sweeter and chewier. 

Spread Bagelry’s downtown Charleston location will be open for breakfast and lunch, seven days a week, from 7AM to midafternoon. The focus of the small-batch bakery is on quality over quantity. Typically, stores close around 2:30 PM when the supply of fresh bagels no longer meets the demand.
