LEWIS PLUMBING ROOT FOR THE UNDERDOG 352-9350 son Plaza, that's getting the most attention from com- pany's officials, Steinik said. Plans call for the store to be fully renovated within the next year, including construc- tion of a full-service deli similar to deli counters in the company's other locations. The renovation comes after completion of the 1-696 freeway and what Steinik hopes will be "a revitalization of that area." Goldsmith also thinks the new freeway could bring more east-siders to his stores, but said it's still too early to tell if the construction has had a positive or negative effect on sales. "Most of our stores are fairly centrally located and have good access from the freeway, so there's that possibility (for new business)," Detroit's bagel kings says recent California style bagels or toppings will not hit the area any time soon. Both Steinik and Gold- smith say the traditional plain, onion and egg bagels remain at the top of most peo- ple's favorite lists. "If there's been a change, it's that the raisin bagel is moving up (in popularity), especially in our stores in non-Jewish areas," Goldsmith said. "We've toyed with the idea of putting out an oat bran bagel but right now we just don't have the counter space," Goldsmith added. "Besides, by the time it came out, they (the health community) would probably be saying rice, or something else, is better." For New York Bagel, Sun- day remains the top sales day. For Detroit Bagel, Tuesday Bagel Nights (15 bagels for $2 instead of the regular $3.50 per dozen) have taken the lead. Tuesday sales beats every other day by a 2-1 margin. "Today, you've got a very coupon-conscious customer out there," Steinik said. "Peo- ple are always looking for a bargain." Both companies are heavy into the wholesale end of the bagel business and offer special deals to charitable and civic groups. New York Bagel supplies a large number of area grocery stores, fruit markets and bakeries with fresh-baked product. He said wholesale is one of the main "growth areas" of the business. ❑ SEYMOUR WEISSMAN, local businessman, HAROLD DUBROWSKY, managing partner of Grant Thornton, and ISADORE GOLDBAUM of Goldbaum, Gattorn and Stancato, have been named directors for Madison National Bank.
