At Einstein Noah Restaurant Group, our mission is simple: to redefine the quick casual neighborhood café. From our comfortable and friendly store environments featuring sophisticated finishes and furnishings to our reasonably priced, high-quality food, we offer places—quite simply—where people want to be.
The concept of quick casual is more than a trend. In fact, the $6 billion segment is one of the fastest growing niches in the restaurant industry. This significant growth is attributed to aging baby boomers who are willing to pay a little more for quality food in a comfortable environment and a youth culture that needs a place to, well, hangout. We provide both—with class.
From cozy, warmly lighted lunch cafés with comfy chairs and community tables to convenient counter-order bagel delis, ENRG offers an array of quick casual options. Whether customers want a piled-high sandwich to go or prefer to pause over fresh salads and talk business, one of ENRG'S five brands will accommodate. It’s all about convenience that isn’t rushed, atmosphere that doesn’t go stale, and service that comes with a smile.
And we do quick casual all over the nation. With a dough production facility and a coffee roasting plant, ENRG makes sure everything bagel-like—from standard hole-in-the-middles to the ingenious Bagel Dog—and not so bagel-like—from fresh salads to fudge brownies—are as easy to buy and enjoy as the daily newspaper.

It’s all about convenience that isn’t rushed, atmosphere that doesn’t go stale, and service that comes with a smile.

New World Restaurant Group's Einstein Bros, Noah's and Manhattan Bagel Chains Launch Companywide Drive to Aid Victims of Hurricane Katrina

- Fundraising program follows ongoing effort to provide food to evacuees in Houston
GOLDEN, Colo., Sept 07, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- New World Restaurant Group, Inc. (Pink Sheets: NWRG) announced that all 440 of its company-owned Einstein Bros. Bagels and Noah's New York Bagels and all participating Manhattan Bagel franchisee-owned restaurants will aid in fundraising efforts being launched today to assist victims of Hurricane Katrina. All funds donated by the company, its employees and guests will go to the American Red Cross.

The companywide endeavor follows a locally-based effort begun last week under which the Einstein Bros. restaurants in metropolitan Houston began providing food to Salvation Army shelters throughout that area. "We will continue to lend a hand to evacuees served by the Salvation Army's Houston shelters," said New World CEO Paul Murphy.

Starting today, New World restaurants will donate a portion of the sales from every 'Dozen Bucket of Bagels' sold through September 19th at all company-owned Einstein Bros. Bagel, Einstein Bros. Cafe and Noah's New York Bagels locations. The popular buckets include 13 bagels and two flavors of cream cheese. Manhattan Bagel franchisees will provide a portion of the sales from all dozens of bagels sold. In total, the company estimates its donations in cash and food from all brands will exceed $100,000.

Additionally, each participating restaurant has set up a donation station that will be used to collect any cash donations from customers and employees.

"This is a tragedy that in some way has touched all of us," said Mr. Murphy. "I am incredibly proud of our employees in Houston who immediately provided needed food to the shelters. Our restaurants have always been a big part of the communities in which we live. Due to Katrina, the residents of the Gulf Coast are now part of all our communities."
