Poppy's Bagels Has Grand Re-Opening

Poppy’s Bagels, which closed after an early-morning fire in February, reopened Friday morning. 

On Feb. 11, West Orange firefighters responded to a two-alarm fire at the store, located at 455 Mount Pleasant Ave. in the Mount Pleasant Plaza, and encountered smoke coming from the rear of the structure. 

Firefighters had to force their way into the bagel shop, but were able to place the blaze under control within 20 minutes. 

Poppy’s Bagels, a certified Kosher bagel and pizza shop, specializes in bagels, soups, sandwiches and wraps. It opened for business in 2010. 

Fire officials had closed the store after the fire because of smoke, water and structural damages caused by roof ventilation.
