Zach Liporace let customers know that while the Pop’s Bagels first brick and mortar store was closing, it wouldn’t be long before they opened up a new store close by. 

Liporace noted that the three other locations, Culver City, Fairfax, and Beverly Hills, would not have been possible without the experiences and the support of the Brentwood community. He stated that Pop’s hoped to find another spot in the Brentwood area in the future.
