HAZLET - When Holmdel resident Robert Ploussas lost his engineering job during the COVID-19 pandemic, he moved on and realized a lifelong dream: opening a bagel shop.
Late last month, Ploussas and his wife, Jessica, opened Bagel Boyz in a store at the corner of Holmdel and Bethany roads, the former home to Holmdel Deli & Groceries. I always wanted to open a bagel shop, Ploussas said. As difficult as the last year had been for all of us, I believe that the pandemic offered us opportunities to look at life differently.
The menu at Bagel Boyz menu includes fresh bagels, sandwiches, wraps, muffins, cookies and coffee. The hours are 6 a.m. to 3 p.m.
