Back to EpisodesThe Westchester Brief | 07.30.26: The Bagel Shop That Closed Without a Word
Description
Village Square Bagels served Larchmont, New York, for roughly 30 years before closing quietly this year with no public explanation. This episode looks at what a small business closure like this says about Westchester County's economy, set against the same week's headlines about a $4 billion development pipeline and Wayfair's first New York flagship store coming to Yonkers.
