ABOUT US
Twins Rachel and Sarah Gross were born in University Heights, OH in 1984.
Their mom would always put them in the stroller and walk them and their
brother to Bialy's. They didn't know it then but, they would eventually take
over this Cleveland landmark.
While visiting the Bagel Station, owned by their uncle in Winston Salem, NC,
their love for bagels grew. Rachel and Sarah eventually traveled to NC in 2011
to learn the ins and outs of the bagels business.
In 2014 with no luck of opening their dream bagel shop, they launched Clover
Road Cream Cheese. Although it is not in production at this times Rachel and
Sarah hope to bring it back.
In December or 2017, Rachel and Sarah finalized the transfer of ownership of
Bialy's Bagels, from previous owners Ellen and Mark Osolin.
They hope you will continue to follow them on their journey.

BIALY'S HISTORY
Terry Skolnick was born February 26, 1930 in Brooklyn, New York. Skolnick
served in the U.S. military during the Korean War. He also worked as a
baker in Manhattan. Skolnick decided to open his own bakery in
Cleveland, in order to seek out an untapped market. After moving to
Cleveland, he looked in the phone book for a Jewish last name and called
to ask where he should open his business.
Terry Skolnick opened University Heights Bagel Store in 1966. He later
changed the name to Bialy’s Bagels. Skolnick built an Eastside institution.
Skolnick retired in 1997. Skolnick's daughter, Ellen Osolin who owned and
operated Bialy’s Bagels with her husband Mark said, “My dad worked long
hours to make that business what it is and to pass that on to us.”
After 36 years of working the Osolin's are ready to spend time with
their 2 daughters and grandchildren. Osolin said, "We are thrilled to pass
the business to born and bred Cleveland twin sisters. We wish them
nothing but success in the future . We hope all our customers will
continue to support Bialy's, and hope they will bring in some new
customers as well."
Cheers to the next 51 years Cleveland!
