Empire Bagel Factory

Empire Bagel Factory opened its third location Saturday in Collier County. The new store refreshed the former Dunkin’ space in the Flash convenience store/food court, car wash and gas station complex, 9995 Tamiami Trail E., across from Treviso Bay in East Naples. Chunky Bunky’s Ice Cream Shop also recently opened in that plaza, which provides indoor and outdoor seating for the eateries. The new Empire Bagel shop, open 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily, joins its other locations in North Naples and Marco Island. “We have the same menu as the other stores. However, we did extend our lunch menu a bit. We have added wraps and salads along with our sub sandwiches,” says Rachel Oest, who co-owns the local business with her husband, Lucas.
