ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Wolfe’s Bagels is ready to rise again.

The Albuquerque bagel shop will reopen its doors on Friday, Sept. 18, ending a six-month hiatus, owner Robert Wolf told the Journal.

Wolf had voluntarily locked shop March in what was supposed to be a temporary closure related to an outstanding tax bill and some health issues. He said Tuesday he is finally prepared to settle the tax matters and get back to work.

“It was Jewish new year (this week), so part of it was just ‘You know what? (It’s a) new year, we’re going to get off to a good start,'” said Wolf, who expects longtime fans to greet the revival with enthusiasm.

“We’re real excited about it,” he said. “There are a lot of people excited about it.”

This is not the first storm Wolfe’s has weathered. Wolf and his brother bought the company’s assets in 2000 after the company’s original owners filed for bankruptcy-court protection. (Robert Wolf and his wife, Jessica, are now the sole proprietors.)

Wolfe’s, located at 6241 Montgomery NE, is scheduled to reopen at 6 a.m. Friday. The business hours will be 6 a.m.-2 p.m. daily.
