![]() ![]() Both Steven Block and Jeremy Fox had their bar mitzvahs at Agudas Achim, according to CJN. Steven was a board member of Congregation Agudas Achim and the family are supporters of the Columbus Jewish Center, known for donating bagels to various Jewish events. The Block family has long been active in Columbus’ Jewish community. “It’s been nearly six years now and it was time for us to go our separate ways.” Fox said the change would give the chain “more freedom to operate and expand our menu to better fit the community and its ever-evolving needs.” “Originally our license agreement was intended to be a short-term solution,” Fox had told the Columbus Jewish News about the rebranding prior to the lawsuit. Fox had purchased another local bagel maker, Sammy’s Bagels, earlier this year. The Fox’s locations, which opened in 20, had been jointly operated and branded as Block’s Bagels shops until earlier this month when Fox announced on Facebook that all locations would be rebranded under Fox’s label and that the Block’s shops would be “closed.”Īccording to the lawsuit, this change - which the Block family said they only learned about from Facebook - also meant that Fox’s would be sourcing its bagels and other food products from a different supplier, sticking Block’s with $10,000 in nonreturnable perishable goods and violating their supply agreement in the process. In court earlier this week, the judge in the case ordered Fox’s locations to continue purchasing products from Block’s, saying the latter “has met its burden to demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that it is entitled to a TRO ,” the Columbus Jewish News reports. ![]() ![]() The Columbus Jewish News reports that the owner of Block’s Bagels, a local Jewish deli mainstay since 1967, last week sued former business partner Jeremy Fox, owner of the Fox’s Bagels & Deli chain, after the latter moved to rebrand two shops the parties had been operating jointly. JTA - A feud between two Jewish bagel shop owners in Columbus, Ohio, has spilled out of the oven and into full public view, resulting in a lawsuit and restraining order. ![]()
