Comac Food Group of Calgary has announced the opening of a second Manhatten Bagel store in Alberta, with this one located in Edmonton. The first was opened in Calgary in May. Earlier this year, Comac signed a multi-unit franchise agreement with Tucson Bagel Inc. of Edmonton that will see this group open four stores over the next six months. Two additional Manhatten Bagel stores and a Manhatten Bagel/Grabbajabba specialty coffee house combination store are under construction and scheduled to open in Edmonton prior to October 30. Comac is committed to open 100 stores over a five-year period. Advertising for all of these endeavours will be handled in-house, although Comac does occasionally use the services of Parallel Strategies of Calgary on a per-project basis.The company will use print media, mainly newspapers, but also magazines, flyers and coupons. Advertising for the existing stores is already underway. Comac is a multi-concept franchise management organization focused on the specialty food industry in Canada.
