National Choice Bakery operates as a mid-sized producer of bagels for retail and food-service customers, specializing in European-style bagels that are water-boiled and hearth-baked. From a 70,000-square-foot facility in South Saint Paul, Minnesota, the company holds a BRC GFSI certification. It offers private label and co-pack programs with in-house research and development. Its bagel programs cover fresh, DSD, bakery thaw-and-sell, refrigerated, and frozen categories. In June 2023, National Choice Bakery was acquired by Bimbo Bakeries USA, the U.S. arm of Grupo Bimbo. This acquisition places the South Saint Paul-based producer within a larger national bakery operation.
