It all started with ‘Bagels’ back in 1994. Owner/Founder Lee Zulanch and his father, former Long Islanders, understood the growing popularity of ‘New York-style Bagels’ and realized the Grand Strand was ‘under-bagled’…and the idea of establishing a bagel shop became their passion.

 

Named after Lee’s oldest son, Benjamin’s Bagel Bakery opened in the fall of 1994 to immediate success…fronted by a bagel shop and deli, where you could get breakfast, lunch, fresh-baked bagels, deli meats, pastries and a good cup of coffee. As the business grew in those early years, Benjamin’s expanded their product line to Breads, Hoagies, Buns, Pastries, Pies, Cakes, and specialty items. Benjamin’s Bakery proudly provides their fresh-baked breads and pastries and freshly roasted coffee beans to over 100 restaurants along the Grand Strand.
