Einstein Bros.' Take & Toast Bagel Line Debuts at Walmart

Specialty Food Association

Einstein Bros. Bagels is bringing its Take & Toast Bagels to more than 3,500 Walmart locations nationwide.

These bagels are baked in Einstein Bros. Bagels ovens and crafted to be finished at home in consumers' own toasters or ovens, allowing for a bakery-quality bagel that isn't dried out or overcooked, according to the company.

"Through our collaboration with Walmart, we can now offer our iconic, fresh bagels inside Walmart stores across the country so consumers can experience fresh-from-the-oven bagels from the comfort of their homes," said Ernie Mattin, head of consumer packaged goods for Einstein Bros. Bagels, in a statement. "We take bagel innovation seriously in our bakeries and are proud to offer that same fresh-baked bagel experience at home.”

Take & Toast Bagels have no artificial flavors, colors, preservatives, or high-fructose corn syrup. The bagels will be available in five-packs of the most popular flavors: Plain, Everything, Cinnamon Raisin, and Asiago.

"Walmart is committed to bringing innovative ideas and breakfast offerings to our stores, and the addition of Einstein Bros. Take & Toast Bagels is just one way we're doing so this year," said Raven Washabaugh, associate merchant, breakfast for Walmart, in a statement.
