Tommy's Bagels is getting ready to expand yet again, with plans for a third New Jersey location taking shape in Old Bridge. The homegrown bagel business, already a staple in Manalapan and the Yorktowne Plaza, is eyeing a spot off Texas Road near Routes 9 and 18 for its newest shop, though the project remains in its early stages.
According to wobm.com, Tommy's Bagels is getting ready to open a third New Jersey location, and while plans are still coming together, the company is planning its grand opening for spring 2027. As New Jersey 101.5 also reported on the announcement, the Old Bridge store would mark a notable milestone for a business that has built its name on two existing New Jersey shops.
Where the New Shop Will Land
The future Old Bridge location will sit off Texas Road, a stretch conveniently located off both Route 9 and Route 18, per the same wobm.com report. That positioning puts the new shop within easy reach for drivers coming from multiple directions, though no exact street address or construction timeline has been made public.
Tommy's current footprint includes its flagship store in Manalapan and a second location in the Yorktowne Plaza, both of which have helped build the brand's following among Monmouth and Ocean County bagel fans. The company's own site describes its Manalapan shop as a spot for fresh bagels and deli sandwiches, a formula it appears ready to bring to Old Bridge as well, according to tommysbagelsnj.com.
A Jersey-Born Bagel Business Keeps Growing
Tommy's Bagels describes itself as Jersey-born and raised, and the company says it has spent more than 30 years perfecting its bagels, a pedigree the report notes as part of its identity heading into this next chapter. That decades-long focus on craft has apparently been enough to justify a third storefront, even as the Old Bridge project sits in its early phases.
For now, bagel lovers in Old Bridge will have to wait until spring 2027 for a grand opening, giving the company less than a year to finalize details on the new location. Until then, the Manalapan and Yorktowne Plaza shops remain the only places to grab a Tommy's bagel in New Jersey.
