After launching in 2007, the Old School Bagel chain quickly became known as the “Cheers” of the area, growing a cult-like following through its commitment to guest relationships. The founders created a culture where operators know their customers’ names and bagel orders, delivery drivers are offered free drinks, and tables are pre-bussed....The brand’s first focus is to award franchises within driving distance of Oklahoma City, in states including Texas, Kansas, Missouri, and Arkansas. Although there’s been interest from operators coast to coast, Conerly decided early on that he didn’t want to expand Old School Bagels’s footprint at a rapid scale.
