Pete’s Bagels is ready to spread its “everything” seeds even further after the local chain announced plans to expand in St. Petersburg this year.

The manatee mascot is bringing his charm to downtown St. Petersburg with a new concept spot called Seymour’s. The announcement told the story of Seymour, a New Jersey native that ate bagels scooped, with pickles.

Seymour’s—located at 407 Central Ave. in the Snell Arcade Building—will serve coffees, bagels and lunch in a 1,200 square-foot space, according to the Tampa Bay Business Journal.

Pete’s Bagel is also ready to open its previously-announced drive-thru-only location this spring at 2439 4th St. S, in St. Petersburg.

The location “still looks under construction,” according to a social media post, but the long awaited drive-thru is almost done. No need to leave your car to grab the famous well-seeded everything bagel.

The bagel shop first opened in 2019. Now, Pete’s has expanded to three locations, with a cafe in Ybor City and another in St. Pete’s Grand Central district, and a bakery in Gulfport.

Opening dates for both Seymour’s and the drive thru are to be determined.

Pete’s Bagel serves its NY-style bagels with dealers’ choice of spreads (jalapeno, plain, scallion and more). The menu includes breakfast sandwiches, and the Plant Pete, a vegetarian plant-based option served with an egg patty and impossible sausage.

Lattes and drip coffee is an option for those who want a complete morning kick. If you have a sweet tooth, pastries and parfait’s are available for order.
