Founder, Owner and Operator at Shug's Bagels
📍 United States

Justin Shugrue is the founder and owner of Shugs Bagels, a popular New York-style bagel shop in Dallas. A graduate of SMUs Cox School of Business, he pivoted from a planned career in finance after identifying a market gap for authentic bagels in his college town. His venture has seen rapid success since opening in 2020.

Originally from the New York area, Justin is a self-described "cardio junkie" who runs five days a week and completes half-marathons. He is an avid podcast listener, enjoying shows on entrepreneurship and investment, and also plays video games like Fortnite. He lives in Dallas with his dog, Baxter.

After deciding a finance career wasnt for him, Justin took a "bagel internship" on Long Island to learn the craft before launching his business.
