What’s the only thing better than a schmear of cream cheese on a toasted bagel?
For Luke Bryan fans, perhaps a bagel with a side of free concert tickets.
Manhattan Bagel in Southampton is hosting its grand opening on May 31, where country music radio station WXTU-92.5 will raffle off 10 pairs of tickets to their XTU Anniversary Show on June 23 featuring headliner Luke Bryan.
The new location, which opened in January at 707 Street Road, is the fourth store for owners, Ross Gelman and his father, Ilyas. The two have been in the bagel business for 16 years after opening their first franchise in Willow Grove in 2007. Since then, they have added two more locations in North Wales and Richboro.
“There is sweat, tears, and constant work, and all I want to do is to watch this shop succeed and grow. This store is our fourth baby, so it is like raising a child,” Gelman said.
In addition to the grand opening, the new shop is partnering with a local organization, Autism Cares Foundation, to hold a fundraising event on June 29. A portion of the proceeds from all sales, including gift cards, will be donated to the nonprofit.
When is the grand opening of Manhattan Bagel in Southampton?
Festivities start at 8 a.m. on Wednesday, May 31.
The first 100 customers will receive a coupon book for 100 free breakfasts for a year. Additional prizes will be given away throughout the day, including free coffee and breakfast sandwiches.
WXTU-92.5 will be on location starting at 10 a.m.

What is Manhattan Bagel?
Manhattan Bagel is a fast-casual eatery serving fresh-baked bagels, breakfast and lunch sandwiches, salads, bakery treats, frozen drinks and coffee.
“All of our products are fresh; nothing is frozen,” Gelman said.
“This goes for our bagel sandwiches with fresh eggs and meat on a New York-style water bagel. Everything –— the bagels, cream cheese, sandwiches, muffins, and our coffees are all wonderful. We never sacrifice quality for speed.”
