Zak Gilbert doesn’t consider himself a baker. Never has, probably never will.
Even though Gilbert works baker’s hours — up at 4:30 a.m., wrapping up for the day in the mid-afternoon — his role is that of a businessman looking to use a single-store bagel company as a platform to build something larger.
In the next few weeks, Gilbert expects to announce the lease of a 5,000-square-foot space that will allow the bagel shop recently christened anew as “Rounds” to make a stronger foray into wholesale deliveries.
The space also is likely to become Rounds’ second retail location, joining a long-standing 2,500-square-foot location at Longley Lane and South McCarran Boulevard.
And from there, Gilbert hopes to add at least one more retail location in the Truckee Meadows, bringing the total to three.
