Einstein Bros. Bagels Closes In Bel Air

BEL AIR, MD — A bagel shop in Bel Air has closed its doors for good.

Einstein Bros. Bagels shuttered recently in the Tollgate Marketplace.

A reader posted that the Einstein Bros. Bagels was closed as of April 14, noting signs on the doors saying the location was no longer in business there.

"This bakery is permanently closed," the signs say. "We thank you for your patronage and apologize for any inconvenience."

At the bottom, the signs direct people to the Towson location, which is at 901 Goucher Blvd.

Another neighbor posted about the closure as well, prompting a slew of comments from disappointed diners.

"Say it isn't so! My husband and I love Einsteins," Maureen Stark wrote. "I hope they find a new home and reopen soon."

Others lamented the loss of the employees and service.

"We used Einstein Bagel to provide catering service for our organization," Al Woltz wrote. "I'll miss you guys."

Boston Market has a restaurant that remains open next door. Readers shared that Boston Market owns the lease.

"We can confirm that have entered into an agreement to add a Corner Bakery Café in the Marketplace Drive space," Slaton Smith, chief marketing officer for Boston Market, told Patch Tuesday. "Corner Bakery Café is working hard to open this new location as quickly as possible."

HR Retail, which manages the Tollgate Marketplace shopping center, declined to comment.
