Dave's Killer Bread Summer Berry Bagels are a new limited-edition, fruit-forward bakery product making its way to the US market this spring. The bagels boast a full-size profile that's packed with cranberries, blueberries, strawberries and raspberries, and will be on offer now through July. The bagels are targeted towards Millennial and Gen Z consumers in response to research done by the brand that signaled the popularity of berry-infused bagels.
Dave's Killer Bread Summer Berry Bagels are arriving in five-serving packs for $6.49 and are expected to be a hit as we head into the warmer weather months and consumers gravitate towards seasonally inspired foods. The bagels are also expected to be a must-try amongst shoppers thanks to their eye-catching pink packaging with limited-edition moniker.
