We have a great house that gave us lots of memories. We are looking for a new family to start their memories. Please share our home. Thank you, Ira and Annette.

Happy Bagel Saturday! Tomorrow is our last day in business. We hope to see everyone there so we can say "thank you" to all! But more importantly, I do want to mention that we will be having a Blood Drive. We are so in need for blood donations. We hope you can donate. There are some time slots available. Please call the # on the flyer below to set up your scheduled time. They will however take walk-ins, if the time slot is available. Next, I want to mention that we will be giving free Ira's Bagels T-Shirts for a 10.00 donation or more(cash or check) to the Alzheimer's Association. And finally, don't forget to bring a pet toy or food for our Bosley Box, which will be donated to a local pet rescue. Lets all help each other! Please stay safe and healthy!, Ira

Happy Bagel Friday! As we enter our last weekend at Ira’s Bagels, I want to give a big “Thank you” to the community for all the support that you gave us. Without you, there would not have been an Ira’s Bagel Shop. Secondly, I want to say a big “thank you” to our Bagel team. Without all your hard work and dedication to our high-quality standards in both product and guest service, Ira’s Bagels would never had flourished as it did. But I need to give a special “Thank you” to the three ladies that were with me when we first opened the doors. Thank you to Susan, Angela, and Nicole! You three set the bar for excellence. As I look back these three years, I will miss the moments that I had with our guests; the friendly “Hello’s”, smiles, our talks, but most of all we became friends! These moments will be ever lasting memories. So, in conclusion, I hate to say goodbye, so I will not. But what I will say is “Happy Bagel Life to all!!!” Take care and please all stay safe and healthy! Your friend, Ira

Happy Bagel Tuesday! This weekend, part of our sales will be going to the Alzheimer's Association. I lost my mom back in 2002. As some of you may know, I have been involved with the Association for 20 years and have sat on the Northern Illinois Leadership council as well as served as the Chairperson for the McHenry County Walk a few times while always being on the committee. Thank you for your time!

The Walk to End Alzheimer's is the world's largest event to fight Alzheimer's. Join now and help raise awareness and funds for care, support and research.

Happy Bagel Monday! As we enter our last week in business at Ira’s Bagels, I would like to recognize two of our longest current bagel team members. Dave and Shaelyn. Dave is the person that no one ever sees because he is the one making the bagels in the wee hours of the morning. And Shaelyn is a breath of fresh air when you enter the shop as she greets our guests with a smile and says a hearty thank you when you leave. Thank you to both of you!

Happy bagel Sunday! Our Bosley box is up and back in the store for those who would like to donate in honor of a furry friend who may have passed and crossed the rainbow bridge. We lost our Bosley one year ago today and in his honor we created the Bosley box. In the past year we have filled that box to the brim three separate times and we brought it to three different shelters here in McHenry County. So please as you visit the shop in the next week, please drop off a pet supply, toy, food etc. into the box. Our furry friends who need help will greatly appreciate it. God bless you all! Ira
