Ryan Gravenberch, Ibrahima Konate, and Dominik Szoboszlai wore aprons to compete for the best bagel and doughnut at The Bagelry, a neighborhood diner in Liverpool.

As part of a new VistaPrint campaign, you may remember the players’ surprise visit to the neighborhood store in December, where they demonstrated their support for small businesses in the area.

In the latest video, the competitors try to figure out which of their delicious delights will be the most popular among city people by giving away free doughnuts to passersby.

Through work experience programs and the “Small Business of The Match” initiative, Liverpool FC and VistaPrint are collaborating to support small companies in the community. In addition to giving small company owners in the UK prominence through pitch-side advertising during home games, our contest gives them an unforgettable matchday experience at Anfield.

As part of its most recent fundraising campaign, VistaPrint has donated £3,000 to help The Bagelry buy new kitchenware.

Three Reds players talk about their culinary abilities in the video. “I was living alone in Germany last year and prepared my own meals,” says Gravenberch.

The competitors’ competitive spirit is sparked by the start of the competition. According to Szoboszlai, “If it looks good, they will buy it.” “I made it with my heart,” Konate says.

Due to the lively sales presentations made by all three competitors, Konate ends up winning the contest for the most visually appealing dessert and receiving the most praise from onlookers.

“The Konate” is made out of vegan sirloin bagel, french fries, and butter from Cafe de Paris.

Co-owner Sam Stonehouse commented, “Since the players visited the store, the response from patrons has been phenomenal,” about the effect the appearance had on The Bagelry. People still talk about it because it was such a positive and enjoyable experience.

“As a result, the business has seen an extraordinary influx of patrons and a notable spike in social media mentions.”

For anyone who would like to try it, “The Konate” winning bagel will be available at our institution for the full month of February. Again, many thanks to Liverpool FC and Vistaprint!
