Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On October 20, 1997, the Company's sold its bagel-related businesses to Mr.
Nordahl L. Brue, Mr. Michael J. Dressell and an entity controlled by them and
their affiliates. The sale includes the stock of Bruegger's Corporation and
the stock of all of the other bagel-related businesses.  Terms of the
transaction include the repayment by Bruegger's Corporation of $16.0 million
of debt to the Company, less certain reductions of approximately $7.5
million. These reductions relate to transaction expenses and liabilities to be
retained by the Company. Other consideration includes the issuance by Bruegger's
Corporation of a junior subordinated note in the amount of $10.0 million to
the Company, $4.0 million in cash and the transfer of the 4,310,740 shares of
the Company's common stock owned by Messrs. Brue and Dressell, which will be 
retired.  The subordinated note will have an annual interest rate of 12% and
will mature in seven years.  Interest will be accrued and added to the
principal amount of the note for the first three years and will be paid in
cash for the remaining life of the note.  Prior to the transaction, Messrs. Brue
and Dressell were directors of the Company and owned approximately 25% of the
Company's common stock.  In connection with the sale of the bagel-related
businesses, Mr. Nordahl L. Brue, Mr. Michael J. Dressell and Mr. David T. Austin
have resigned from the Company's Board of Directors.   The sale price was
determined by negotiations between the purchasers and the Company.

                             (Unaudited)

(1)	Reflects the receipt of $16.8 million less $14.0 million used to pay down
    borrowings under the Company's revolving credit agreement.
(2)	Represents the $10.0 million dollar note received in the sale net of a
    $4.0 million reserve.
(3) 	Represents bagel-related business assets retained by the Company.
(4)	Represents accruals for transaction costs and other bagel-related business
    liabilities.
(5)	Represents bagel-related business liabilities retained by the Company.
(6)	Reflects payments against the Company's revolving credit agreement.
(7)	Reflects the reduction of additional paid in capital for the 4,310,740
    shares received and retired.  The shares were valued at $5 1/16, the
    Company's stock price on the date of the transaction.
(8)	Consolidation of retained earnings of Mohold, Inc. which was consolidated
    after August 3, 1997 and sold as part of the transaction.
(9)	Represents retained earnings of the bagel-related businesses retained by
    the Company.
(10	In accordance with Issue No. 86-30 of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force
    ("ETIF"), the Company classified the entire amount outstanding under its
    revolving credit facility at August 3, 1997 as current debt.  Issue
    No. 86-30 of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force required the debt to be
    classified as current because it was possible that the Company would not
    meet the financial covenants under its existing revolving credit
    agreement at year end, October 26, 1997, unless the bank credit agreement
    was further amended.  On October 9, 1997 the Company negotiated an
    amendment in the financial covenants through the maturity of the loan,
    April 26, 1999, and therefore has reclassified the debt as long-term.

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations reflects
the disposition by the Company of all its bagel-related businesses as if it

businesses for the fiscal year ended October 27, 1996 giving effects to the
disposition and the pro forma adjustments set forth in the accompanying notes to
pro forma consolidated statements of operations.  This pro forma consolidated
statement of operations should be read in conjunction with the pro forma 
consolidated balance sheet of the Company and the historical financial
statements and notes thereto of the Company filed in other Securities and
Exchange Commission fillings. 

This unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations is not necessarily
indicative of what the actual consolidated results of operations of the Company
would have been assuming the disposition had been completed as set forth above,
nor does it purport to represent the future consolidated financial operations 
of the Company for future periods.
