A fast-food chain is set to open its first store in Kent.

The Bagel Factory will be moving into Bluewater Shopping Centre in Greenhithe later this month.

Its latest branch will be on the ground floor of the Winter Garden Food Court.

Signs for the shopping complex’s new addition have been put up, advertising it as “coming soon”.

The Bagel Factory has been operating since 1997 and says it serves “fresh and healthy alternative to on-the-go food”.

Most of its 50-plus locations are in London but it also has branches in other parts of the UK and Ireland including Edinburgh, Manchester and Sheffield.

Some of its most popular bagels include its “The Classic”, which consists of salmon and cream cheese, and the “Salt Beef Melt” which has salt beef, Emmenthal cheese, gherkins, and mustard.

The menu also features vegan and halal-friendly options.
