Bruegger's, best known for its authentic New York style bagels and an expansive menu that includes made-to-order fresh sandwiches, soups and salads, opened in its first bakery in Haverford Township at 396 West Lancaster Street.

To celebrate the occasion and thank the community for its support, a portion of opening day sales will be donated to the Bryn Mawr Hospital. A ribbon "slicing" ceremony led by Bruegger's CEO James J. Greco, "Brueggie" the Bruegger's mascot, and representatives from Haverford Township and Bryn Mawr Hospital officially marked the grand opening event.

"This opening marks the first of several bakeries planned for the greater Philadelphia area," said James J. Greco, Bruegger's CEO.
