Spotlight On Hospitality Entrepreneurs: Thierry Veil

On this week's Culinary Confidential, Christina Cates continues the 'Spotlight On Hospitality Entrepreneurs' series in France by welcoming in Thierry Vale - the entrepreneur behind BAGELSTEIN (www.bagelstein.in), the Paris-born bagel concept that turned sharp branding, disciplined systems, and a fearless voice into a fast-casual powerhouse operating across multiple countries. Together, Christina and Thierry explore the power of a distinct brand identity, how to franchise successfully in new markets, leading teams while protecting the core idea, and the realities of growing a modern hospitality business abroad. Thierry also breaks down how he built the concept from the ground up, why irrelevance became a strategic advantage, and how he scaled without losing the brand’s original spirit.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
