Lines Around the Block as PopUp Bagels Officially Opens First Maryland Store

PopUp Bagels officially opened its first Maryland location in Bethesda on Friday, August 14, drawing a large grand opening-day crowd with lines stretching around the block. We stopped by during the soft opening earlier this week for a first look at the new Bethesda shop. That preview can be seen below.

The new shop, located at 7607 Old Georgetown Road on the ground floor of the Solaire apartment building, held a brief soft opening earlier this week before Friday’s official debut.

Bethesda is PopUp Bagels’ second location in the Washington region, following the opening of its Georgetown shop in April. A third DMV location is currently under construction in Ballston, VA, and owner Brian Harrington recently told The MoCoShow that the company is scouting additional locations throughout the region.

PopUp Bagels has developed a large following for its small-batch bagels and social media presence. The brand has expanded beyond its New York and Connecticut roots with locations in Florida, California and the DC area.
