Creativity and Hustle Created the Bantam Bagel
Creativity and hustle are necessary ingredients for any business to succeed. My guests – husband and wife duo – Nick and Elyse Oleksak the founders of Bantam Bagels realized that there was a huge unmet need on how to satisfy people’s bagel craving without the guilt.
It began with a dream Nick had about stuffed bagels. Nick and Elyse knew they were on to something and began testing flavors and varieties. Without any culinary experience the Oleksak’s developed a bite size bagel stuffed with delicious flavored cream cheeses. The ultimate comfort food was reinvented and Bantam Bagels was born.
