Jeff’s Bagel Run Announces First Standalone Raleigh Location Near Crabtree Mall

A fast‑growing bagel and coffee chain will add a new storefront to the Crabtree Mall/Glenlake neighborhood: Jeff’s Bagel Run has listed a “Coming Soon” Raleigh location at 4251 Parklake Avenue, Suite 102, Raleigh, NC 27601, and the company announced the move on Feb. 13, 2026. The company’sLocations page on its website displays the Parklake address with store status copy reading “COMING SOON!” and UI elements including “get directions,” “Store Info,” “Order Options,” and “Order Jeff's Bagels for Delivery.”

The Raleigh listing appears as part of a broader expansion that QSR reported will push Jeff’s Bagel Run past the 30‑shop milestone nationwide. QSR’s captured itemized openings include Madison, Alabama (described by QSR as “opens today!”), Colorado Springs, Colorado (opens 2/25), Jacksonville, Florida (opens 3/4), and Rolesville, North Carolina (opens 3/4), with the Rolesville entry called “strengthening growth in the Raleigh market.”

Founder Jeff Perera framed the roll‑out as a fundamentals‑driven strategy. Perera told QSR, “We’ve grown by staying focused on the fundamentals, baking everything from scratch, investing in great operators and becoming part of each community we join.” He added, “Seeing multiple new shops open across different regions at the same time is a great reflection of the momentum our franchise partners are building.”

Jeff’s Bagel Run’s product and operations claims in the QSR capture emphasize in‑house baking: the brand is “Known for bagels mixed, boiled and baked fresh in‑house throughout the day,” and each shop offers “a full lineup of freshly baked bagels, house‑whipped spreads and specialty coffee beverages made with beans from Otus Coffee, the small‑batch roaster acquired by the company in 2024.” The chain’s site footer reiterates brand messaging with the tagline “Always Boiled. Never Toasted.™” and the line “Proudly Brewing Otus Coffee.”

Local signals on the Parklake location include a truncated local franchisee remark preserved in the announcement capture: “The local franchisee said the new shop will serve New York‑style”, the original capture ends at that fragment. A concurrent Instagram post on the Jeff’s Bagel Run account also shows a lease notice but is truncated in the capture: “jeffsbagelrun is coming to Raleigh! The popular locally owned bagel spot has signed the lease at 4251 Park Lake Ave., Ste. 102, just around the”

The company’s Raleigh market activity should be read alongside the separate Rolesville entry. QSR lists Rolesville as a March 4 opening and describes it as strengthening the Raleigh market; Jeff’s Bagel Run’s site and the Original Report list the Parklake Glenlake address separately. The captures do not state that the Rolesville and Parklake Ave. locations are the same store, so both entries are recorded as distinct.

Practical details for nearby customers are limited in the current posts: the Parklake listing displays ordering and app prompts such as “Get it on your phone today!” and app badges for App Store and Google Play, but it does not show a grand opening date. The company’s Locations page also includes franchise‑sales and contact consent language noting that franchise information does not constitute an offer and that franchise offers require a Franchise Disclosure Document and applicable registrations.

The Parklake listing completes a visible line of national expansion that, per QSR, moves Jeff’s Bagel Run past 30 shops and places the chain deeper into the Triangle trade area. For confirmation of opening day, menu specifics at 4251 Parklake Avenue, or the full text of the local franchisee’s comment, Jeff’s Bagel Run’s press or the local franchisee will need to provide further details.
