In support of Oprah's 2014 O-List, Bantam Bagels will connect with customers in their shop on Bleecker Street through a variety of creative and engaging programs. On Saturday's in November, they will host a "Oprah's ballin" program, encouraging in-store visitors to snap a selfie next to a photo of Oprah. Those who use the hashtag, #oprahsballin will land themselves a free Bantam and "photo" with Oprah. Bantam will also identify their favorite Bantam of the day and the 30th customer that comes in each day will get a free dozen of “Bantam's Favorite” flavor of the day.
