<\/p>\nNew York City-based H&H Bagels is building-out in Mandarin, which would be its second Northeast Florida location after opening in late June in Saint Johns in St. Johns County.<\/p>\n
The city of Jacksonville issued a permit Sept. 8 for Kaneco Construction LLC of Jacksonville to build-out a 1,142-square-foot space at 10025 San Jose Blvd. at a project cost of $275,008.<\/p>\n
The store is where Capriotti\u2019s Sandwich Shop closed in Crown Point Plaza. Sleiman Enterprises is the landlord. The site brochure shows H&H Bagels in a 1,536-square-foot space.<\/p>\n
The site is at southeast San Jose Boulevard and Crown Point Road in the Beauclerc area north of Interstate 295.\u00a0<\/p>\n
H&GH Bagels said through a spokesperson in May that it expects to open at least five units in Northeast Florida, with the first in Saint Johns and the second this fall in Mandarin.<\/p>\n
A third is expected at the Beaches, but the company said in May it does not have a confirmed location.<\/p>\n
The others would also be within the metro Jacksonville area.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
H&H Bagels had a cameo in an episode of the \u201cSeinfeld\u201d TV show.<\/p>\n
In St. Johns County, H&H Bagels opened at 3735 Longleaf Pine Parkway in Saint Johns in the Shoppes of Aberdeen, whose brochure shows a bagel restaurant in 1,237 square feet of space on a corner next to Crave Cookies. Ash Properties is the landlord.<\/p>\n
H&H Bagels had cameos in New York-centric shows such as \u201cSeinfeld\u201d and \u201cSex and the City.\u201d<\/p>\n
H&H Bagels, which offers breakfast, lunch and catering, says it has been a New York City institution since 1972 and has begun a national expansion through franchising.<\/p>\n
In Northeast Florida, \u201cour franchisee, Josh Witt, who is a local resident, identified Jacksonville as an ideal location to bring H&H Bagels,\u201d the spokesperson said in May by email.<\/p>\n
There will be five in Witt\u2019s territory. H&H Bagels said Witt is an experienced food and beverage franchisee.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur original recipe and traditional water bagel method has become synonymous with \u2018the New York bagel,\u2019\u201d the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n
The company uses unbromated and unbleached flour with no artificial preservatives. Each bagel has 13 grams of protein.<\/p>\n
