BAGEL BOY
About Bagel Boy
In 1994, Bagel Boy was established in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and a tradition was born.Many questioned if this mid-sized, mid-western town was ready for, what some considered, "big-city, "ethnic-style-food," like New York style bagels. The answer was a resounding "you betcha."
The city grew not just in population, but in its appetite for fresh baked bagels and custom blended cream cheese. A second Bagel Boy location opened its doors in 1996, on the east-side of town.
Bagels are not just for breakfast anymore! But, we do serve breakfast all day long. We offer a wide variety of bagel sandwiches, soups, salads, coffees, smoothies and treats to satisfy all your cravings for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or just a snack.
We are locally owned and NOT a franchise. We cater to those "on the go" or those looking to "chill-lax" and dine-in. Whatever the occasion, come join us and be part of the Bagel Boy tradition.
About the Owners
From "show biz" to "dough biz"
​
After thirteen years of working in "Show Business," Mike Dinsmore decided to leave Hollywood, get married and open a bagel store with his new wife, Brenda. Having no prior "dough business" skills, he hired a "bagel consultant," who he met on his many travels. "We skipped the honeymoon and went straight to "Bagel University," Mike says about his journey to up-state New York..
​
His first bagel store called, "Take Two Bagels," was located in Mike's hometown of Reading, Pennsylvania.
​
Six years later, they sold their business and headed west to Brenda's "neck of the woods," Sioux Falls.
​
They purchased Bagel Boy in 2000, started a family (a "bagel boy" and a "bagel girl,") and the rest is history.
​
When visiting us you will notice some of Mike's collection of television memorabilia from his days with NBC and ABC Television. Mike first got his start as a production assistant on NBC's "The Cosby Show," in 1984. He notes that one of his many duties, back then, was providing "bagels" to Mr. Cosby's dressing room. In a bizarre twist of career fates, he again provided Mr. Cosby with bagels, in his dressing room, at the Washington Pavillion, some twenty years later during a performance here in Sioux Falls!
