PARSIPPANY — Family Bagels, 182 Parsippany Road, Greenhills Shopping Plaza, is officially closed.
An order of “Eviction Notice to Tenants” was recently posted on their door. The order was issued by Morris County, Law Division, Special Civil Part, effective August 22, 2019 for non-payment of rent.
The responsible parties on the lease were Loretta A. Waters-Falco, Pellechio, Jr., and Family Bagels, Inc.
Family Bagels also known as “Parsippany Bagel & Deli Home Of the Jersey Shore Sub” opened in the summer of 2018, in the former location of Mama Louisa’s Deli. Parsippany Focus was unsuccessful in reaching the owners to find out if they were planning on reopening. Sources in the shopping center told Parsippany Focus that Family Bagels is permanently closed.
The place was doomed from the beginning by reading the Yelp reviews. David d from Parsippany said “This place is awful. I stopped by to grab a quick Taylor Ham, egg and cheese on a plain bagel; which I’ve gotten literally my entirely life. It took 20-25 minutes, the bagel was tiny and no joke, I thought it was a lender’s bagel, and the sandwich was not even hot when I got it. Throw in the fact that the workers were unapologetic about the wait; it was simply the worst bagel experience I’ve had. I actually was SHOCKED because this isn’t rocket science.” Another reviewer David B. from Mendham said “Here’s where the failure is now. After walking in and seeing nothing on the walls regarding their food, and the place basically looking desolate, I approach the counter. A younger girl (25-28 age range maybe) with dark hair looks at me and rudely says, “what do you want?” I ask for a menu to which she responds, “it’s right there in front of you”, and walks away. So, I will walk away as well. Perhaps when this place has completed their renovations (if that is in the cards), they can next focus on friendly customer service. Won’t be returning.”
