Barry Bagel’s president on scaling a business as a second-generation owner
Update: 2025-10-01
Description
In this episode of Take-Away with Sam Oches, Sam talks with Mark Greenblatt, president of Barry Bagel, a Toledo, Ohio-based franchise founded by Mark’s dad Barry Greenblatt back in 1972. He joined the podcast to talk about the lessons he picked up working alongside his dad, how he’s learned big lessons from dumb mistakes, and how he’s finding efficiencies in the business without messing with the good thing his dad started.
In this conversation, you’ll find out why:
- You should consider the personification of your brand — and lean into it for marketing
- Brand leaders must lead by example if they expect hard work
- Your dumbest mistakes are a chance to learn your biggest lessons
- A hub-and-spoke growth model gives you great real estate flexibility
- Catering is a bigger opportunity than you probably realize
