Einstein Bros. Bagels will debut its first location in Detroit on October 19, 2026. The new shop will operate out of a 1,200-square-foot space at One Campus Martius.
Why it matters
This expansion marks the arrival of the national bagel chain in downtown Detroit, providing a new breakfast option for the area. The opening follows the brand's broader growth in Michigan, which included previous conversions of local Bruegger's Bagels storefronts.
The shop occupies a 1,200-square-foot footprint at One Campus Martius and will operate daily from 7:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Randy Dickow
He is the franchisee overseeing the operations of this new downtown Detroit establishment.
The details
Franchisee Randy Dickow will manage the location, which plans to feature a full menu of bagel offerings and coordinate with third-party delivery services. The move follows the conversion of existing Michigan Bruegger's Bagels locations to the Einstein Bros. brand that occurred earlier in 2026.
Timeline
May 2026: Bruegger's Bagels locations in Michigan were converted to Einstein Bros.
October 19, 2026: The new Einstein Bros. Bagels location is scheduled to open.
Daily: The shop will maintain operating hours from 7:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Market Landscape
This opening represents the final step in a regional consolidation strategy that saw Bruegger's Bagels locations rebrand to Einstein Bros. throughout Michigan earlier this year. The move positions the chain to compete directly for downtown commuter foot traffic in one of the city's busiest corporate hubs.
Downtown workers and residents will have a new breakfast option available seven days a week at One Campus Martius. The location will also utilize third-party delivery apps to provide easier access for those working in surrounding office buildings.
The takeaway
The arrival of Einstein Bros. Bagels signals a continued effort to grow the brand's footprint in urban commercial centers. Residents can expect consistent daily hours for breakfast and lunch services starting in mid-October.
