Whether you know Clemson, South Carolina or look the up online, the first thing you will notice is the colors purple and orange. Clemson is the home of the National Championship Football team, the “Clemson Tigers.” The NYC Bagel and Sandwich Shop Franchise produces a special bagel for the town of Clemson. The bagel is known as their “National Championship Bagel” and can be enjoyed year-round.
Clemson’s incoming freshman class may never taste a Western Sizzlin’ steak or grab a late night pizza at Little Caesar’s downtown, but they will have purple and orange bagels to snack on.
NYC Bagel & Sandwich Shop is among the restaurants set to open before students arrive back in Clemson. Marmie Kreps and her husband invested in the New York-based franchise about a year ago as a source of extra retirement income. Last Friday, Kreps retired from a 43-year career in nursing. “This is a little thing that we could do on the side and keep us busy and keep us young,” she said.

They picked the location on Anderson Highway in front of the GrandMarc housing complex for the available parking and proximity to a bus stop, Kreps said. They also saw a lack of deli options in Clemson.
“The one thing we always missed when we came down South was a good bagel,” said Kreps, who is from Michigan.
The bagels for the shop are par-boiled in New York and then baked at the shop. Kreps said the purple and orange “National Championship” bagel was her husband’s idea. They saw the franchise made rainbow bagels and figured they could put a Clemson twist on it.
Beyond bagels, Kreps said they want to cater to late-night student tastes and have wings and pizza on the menu in addition to nachos made from bagel chips and either beef or pastrami.
