Two of Denver's most beloved bagel shops are joining forces.
The Bagel Store in the Washington Virginia Vale neighborhood is merging with Five Points' Rosenberg's Bagels, according to a sign at The Bagel Store on Monaco Parkway.
The Bagel Store has been serving this neighborhood for about 40 years and has been owned by Beth Ginsburg for the past nine years. Rosenberg's is looking to reopen in the coming weeks after water damage from the fire forced to close in May.
The Bagel Store will have an "exciting store facelift" and will remain parve kosher.
Rosenberg's operated out of the Source after the popular New York-style bagel spot in Five Points has been closed since early May. A fire in the upstairs apartments — which police believe was lit to cover up a murder — caused significant water damage in the restaurant.
