New east side Caribou to include Einstein Bagels

Here's why the Caribou Coffee under construction on East 10th Street is taking longer than expected to open: It needs to be remodeled to include Einstein Bros. Bagels.

The store at 3501 E. 10th St. is on property that used to be a Sonic restaurant.

Last year Caribou took out a permit for the new restaurant to include Bruegger's Bagels, because the two concepts were forming several joint locations.

But shortly after that, the parent company of Caribou bought Einstein Noah Restaurant Group.

So Einstein now will join Caribou in Sioux Falls in what's expected to be in the first of several combination stores in the market.

Caribou took out a permit recently with the city to do the Einstein remodel.
