Jessies+Bagels


 * Jessies Bagels opened for the first time in 1990. Tony Rippo wanted to have a bagel shop to call his own. After being a partner in another bagel place (Bagel Train), he decided to open one. He picked Sloatsburg because it did not have one of its own and the location looked good. He named it after his daughter, Jessie. Jessies Bagels sells deli and grilled sandwiches, chips, cookies, milk, soda, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. Selling these food items to early 5AM travelers has made this business very busy and successful. According to the owner, having family members and local people work at Jessies Bagels has made this store very friendly to visit. Jessie herself does work at the store that her dad owns. One day Tony would like to retire and have her take it over. **
