Bagel One is still temporarily closed due to equipment issues according to owner David Parrott. The bagel shop is located at 351 Boston Post Road in North Windham.
The longtime bagel shop is temporarily closed due to equipment issues but will soon reopen according to owner David Parrott. The Connecticut Scoop was able to touch base again with the owner last week. He hopes to know more about a reopening date in the coming weeks. It is unclear what piece of equipment causing the issue. Building equipment, especially roof top HVAC units, have long lead times and are complicated to replace if they need to be upsized or retrofitted. This could be the cause of the delay. The bagel shop closed on 03/25 with a note stating their closure due to equipment issues, leading to much speculation about a permanent closure. Rest assured Bagel One will be cranking out bagels again soon! We will keep you posted once a reopening date is announced.
