The owners of Buddy's says the company makes bagels the time-honored way by boiling lumps of dough before they are baked.

Manatee-Sarasota

Two former Brooklyn Bagel & Deli shops in Sarasota have rebranded as Buddy's.

To celebrate the change in the New York-inspired eateries, Buddy's is hosting a grand opening at 9 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 11 at the 999 Cattlemen Road location. The celebration will feature music, bagel samples and what are described as "enticing return-visit" incentives.

The stores are part of HSK Industries, a Sarasota-based business conglomerate that includes Florida Design Works, Kirkplan Kitchen & Bath and a ski resort and golf club in New Jersey, among other holdings. Brothers David and Jeffrey Koffman own HSK.
