Goody's Bagels & Spreads, a beloved Long Island bagel shop, has opened a new location in the Jericho Commons shopping center. The new Jericho outpost takes over a former bagel shop space and aims to replicate the success of Goody's existing Greenvale location, which has seen a 30-40% growth in business since opening in 2022.

Why it matters

The opening of Goody's new Jericho location represents the continued demand for high-quality, locally-owned bagel shops on Long Island. As national chains and corporate-owned businesses have expanded, Goody's has found success by focusing on fresh, homemade products and providing a welcoming, neighborhood feel for customers.

The details

The new Jericho Goody's features around 20 different spreads and 30 different bagel varieties, as well as other baked goods like salt sticks, bialys, and "flagels." All of Goody's bagels are baked in-store and kettle-boiled before going into the oven. The shop also prepares its own cream cheese spreads and cuts fresh Nova lox daily. Owner Peter Goodman, a Long Island native, is aiming to replicate the success of the Greenvale location by providing excellent customer service and a positive experience.

  • Goody's Bagels & Spreads opened its new Jericho location in December 2025.
  • The Greenvale Goody's location opened in 2022 and has seen 30-40% growth in business since then.
