BB Bagels opens tomorrow
Friday, November 15, 2024, is the grand opening of BB’s Bagels in Waitsfield. The brainchild of Brooke Downing, the shop will be open Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Regular hours will be Thursday through Sunday 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. The business will be closed Thanksgiving Day. BB’s Bagels is located in the Irasville Common buildings. Downing, 19, started making bagels during the pandemic and said she enjoyed it way too much. She started making way too many bagels and her neighbors caught on and she started selling them in the community. Faced with many requests to open a shop, she did so (with a lot of help from her family and friends) once she graduated from high school.
