Owner's 'Health Concerns' Cause Popular Cheshire Eatery To Temporarily Close

CHESHIRE, CT — The popular Shef's Bagels will be taking some time off as the owner deals with some health concerns, according to a social media post.

In a note on their Facebook page, the business said it will be closed from Feb. 14 until Tuesday, Feb. 24.

"Unfortunately, this break wasn’t planned and not something that we wanted to do, especially after having to close due to the problem with the oven, but recently Shef has been dealing with some health concerns and it has been recommended to him that he take some time off to recover," the business posted.

"We are hoping to be back on 2/24, but as most people know, when dealing with health concerns, sometimes things don’t go as planned. So we will do our very best to stick to that return date but will keep everyone updated if anything changes. Thank you, as always, for understanding that as a small business sometimes we have no choice but to close on short notice or make last minute changes. We will forever be grateful for ALL of your support as always, but especially during these times," the business shared.

The popular bagel place is located at 1040 South Main St. It has nearly 4,000 followers on Facebook.

One person wrote, "Hoping for a full and Swift recovery for our guy Shef! Take all the time you need!"

Another person wrote, "Take care of your health Shef. The town of Cheshire will always support you. Feel better"

In late January, Shef's Bagels had issues with its oven, which resulted in some sporadic closures.

The business has stellar reviews with one person noting, "delicious bagels with friendly and fast service. When we want bagels, Shefs is the only place we go to!"
