Monroe, NY - New Bagels Boys Making Dough in Monroe Shopping Center
Monroe, NY - Bagel Boys in Suffern has purchased Monroe Bagels & Deli in the Monroe Shopping Center on Route 17M.

Brothers Mark and Eric Fried opened other Bagel Boys 22 years ago. The Frieds will make some changes to the Monroe location, including a complete renovation and tapping bakery recipes from the late Benny Pakula of the famous Pakula's Bakery in the Bronx and Spring Valley.

The hours will change, too. They will close at 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and at 3 p.m. on Sundays. The store will be closed for renovations from March 19-22.

The kosher-style shop is gearing up for Passover with a full menu featuring flourless cakes from Carousel Cakes in Nanuet. It plans to employ 15-20 people; some employees from the Hausmans' shop have stayed. As for the move to Monroe, like bagels and cream cheese, Marc Fried says it's a perfect match.
