Bagelry Goes With Un-Kosher

not to open its second metro
area location as a kosher bagel-
ry, despite earlier considera-
tions.
The shop, at Maple and Tele-

kosher bagels in the city.
"We looked into it, I present-

opened it the way they wanted
to open it," said Jerry Filler, the
district manager of the Detroit
and Toledo markets for the
Golden, Colo.-based bagel chain.
