Since 1999, Towson Hot Bagels, better known as “THB,” has been known as a breakfast mainstay in Maryland. For families and friends looking for anything from a greasy, satisfying indulgence to a healthy bite, they have it all. You can always expect crisp, fresh bagels laden with toppings of your choice in any style you like when you head to THB.
The franchise currently has six locations in Towson, Canton, Owings Mills, Charles Village, Columbia, and Timonium; but expansion is underway. In 2024, Towson Hot Bagels’ seventh location will open in Locust Point at McHenry Row.
“We have been looking at the Federal Hill/Locust Point community since we opened our second location in Canton back in 2009,” say Tony Scotto, CEO and co-owner of THB. “Over the years, we’ve been asked about South Baltimore again and again. My answer has always been the same, ‘We are looking into it, I promise!’”
People flock from all over the state to visit THB for delicious bagel sandwiches, coffee, and more. As this is their third location downtown, the new spot will meet the growing demand for those living in the south and west sides of Baltimore City.
Like existing locations, the McHenry Row site will be open for breakfast and lunch and offer catering services for family gatherings, office parties, and events like employee appreciation day, which falls on March 1 this year.
THB harbors charm down to its roots. It is a family-owned business run by the Scotto cousins, a first-generation Italian family, who bought the deli in 2008. After 25 years in business, what was once just an unassuming bagel spot in Towson has blossomed into a statewide, iconic hub for all things breakfast.
The Scotto family is local, adding to their dedication to the community in more ways than one. For the THB team, it is more than just happy customers. They have partnered with local schools, businesses and residents and deeply embedded the franchise as a family-friendly locale for Marylanders everywhere. If you ask any local where they get bagels, they will likely say Towson Hot Bagels.
The new location follows suit with its recent rebranding that has swept across existing locations in the past few years. Expect to see their signature bright orange and green colorway and chic interior design that the other stores are now proudly decked out in. That way, whether you are picking up a bite on your way to work or sitting down with the family for breakfast, THB ensures a comfortable, efficient experience. And let’s not forget that the food is downright delicious, too.
“We believe McHenry Row is one of the best spots in the area,” says Scotto. “It is easily accessible with plenty of parking, which is very important, and has high visibility and accessibility from I-95. The Locust Point neighborhood is a natural fit for THB because we’ve been serving residents and businesses in this area for years.”
Pop in for some upcoming promotions, like the St. Patrick’s Day’s “Lucky” bagels or the Maryland Day bagels. Crunched from time? The myTHb app makes it easy to place your order ahead for a seamless pickup on the go.
To celebrate the grand opening, head to the new storefront for free coffee Monday to Friday in February with a THB-branded travel tumbler while supplies last. Hours are 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Mon.-Fri. and 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Sat.-Sun.
