Never underestimate the popularity of a bagel and a good cup of coffee.

The new Caribou Coffee – Einstein Brothers Bagels shop in Sioux Falls opened its doors at 5:00 AM on Tuesday morning to an excited crowd.

A rather large group of people lined up in front of the door, some even camped out, because the first 50 people through the door on Tuesday morning received a book of coupons, allowing them one free coffee and bagel each week for a year.

Candyce Hedlund, who is the Communications Manager with Einstein Brothers Bagels’ said, the new Sioux Falls store is the third concept store in the country and the company has plans to expand even further.

According to Hedlund, “We have big plans for the coffee and bagel store. We'll be opening about 20 this year and expanding nationally next year as well.”

The new store is located at 3501 East 10th Street. Another concept store will be open just in time for all those Christmas shoppers craving a bagel and a hot Cup of Joe. The second Sioux Falls Caribou Coffee – Einstein Brothers Bagels shop is scheduled to open its doors sometime in December on West 41st Street.
