Spread Bagelry is expanding its business. At 269 S. 20th St., directly across the street from the current store, its owners are adding Spread Baked Goods. While the original shop offers Montreal-style bagels with spreads and sandwich fillings, the new venture will offer loose bagels, muffins and sweet baked treats. Perhaps this is an effort to address lukewarm reviews of long wait times by offering a quick stop for those looking to buy a baker’s dozen? No word yet on whether we can expect a similarly proactive response to complaints about high prices. Construction continues in the space that most recently housed Brown Betty Petite, representing the newest commercial addition to this stretch of South 20th Street.
