TOLEDO, Ohio — A staple in the Westgate Village Shopping Center for more than 40 years will get a new address in 2021.
The bagel shop's front sign came down on Thursday morning, and the pending closure will add one more vacancy to the plaza in the wake of the Stein Mart vacancy.
This Barry Bagels location is reopening in a new location next to Whole Foods on Secor on Jan. 5, according to Mark Greenblatt, president of Barry Bagels Franchise Holdings. The plans were announced back in September and signs are up already that Barry's is coming soon.
Greenblatt says this new spot will be a little more than half the size of the previous store. And he says that's a good thing, considering the increase in take-out business.
The new location is in the old Pizza Fire spot, near Jersey Mike's.
Barry Bagels has been in business in northwest Ohio for 48 years.
