Crown Bakeries continues expansion run with bagel manufacturer

Nashville-based Crown Bakeries, formerly known as The Bakery Companies, is continuing an expansion push that began when it was recapitalized by Arbor Investments nearly two years ago.

Late last month, the company announced that it had acquired Bagel Boy Inc., a New England-based bagel manufacturer. Bagel Boy will continue to operate from its existing facility in Lawrence, Massachusetts, and founder Chuck Bouchrouche will continue as the leader of the division, according to a release.
