Zucker's Bagels
Bagel shop · 7+ locations · NYC
Zucker's is a founder-owned NYC bagel institution, hand-rolled and kettle-boiled since 2007 — though founder ownership hasn't settled the pay question: roughly 100 workers brought an unresolved class action alleging they were forced to work off the clock.
The Big Picture
Zucker's has been founder-majority owned since 2007, with no institutional investor, and both founders still run it. The labor record pulls it down: roughly 100 workers brought a class action alleging time shaving and off-the-clock work, a 2024 court decision found the allegations pointed to a class-wide pattern, and the case is still unresolved. It answers to its two founders, not to a fund.
