Walmart is the “go-to” brand for groceries for many Americans as it offers competitive rates as well as a large number of items. Now, the giant retailer has added another popular bagel to its existing grocery items which include Thomas bagels. The new bagel that will be available in many of Walmart stores is the Einstein Bros. brand of bagels.
Recently, Walmart made an announcement that it had added the popular brand–Einstein Bros. Take & Toast bagels to stores in 3,500 locations across the nation. The existing bread and bakery section in Walmart stores is huge with a variety of bread, pies, bagels and other delicious baked goods.
