RE: Id suggest you move your bagel shop to South Carolina or Texas.
How’s the local palette down south? Do people like eating bagels over there?
I live in Aiken County, SC. In Aiken, the county seat, there are two Dunkin Doughnut shops, an Atlanta Bread Co store and two stand-alone bagel shops. So, yes, I guess people around here love bagels.
I'm especially partial to the asiago cheese bagels at Atlanta Bread. Delish!
