our history |
Ike Gorovy developed an unwavering passion for entrepreneurial work at a very young age. After serving in the army as a cook Ike went to a coffee shop in Brooklyn to catchup with a friend. Ike never expected that such a trivial meeting would result in a successful business that would inspire generations to come. He met and immediately fell in love with the owners daughter, Francine.
They married and Ike took over the coffee shop. Eventually Ike sold the shop and moved to New Jersey where he went to work for his dad and brothers. Together the Gorovoy's built homes and acquired income properties. Shortly after, Ike had three beautiful children, Karen, Jerry and Mark. After Ike's passing, Karen married Steve Vaccari. While Karen missed her father and his inspiring work ethic, she was thrilled that her husbands family was in the food business. Karen was hopeful at the thought of her husband, herself and eventually her children carrying on Ike's legacy. Her sons, the owners Brett and Jordan Vaccari continued the tradition with Ike's bagel café. It's an establishment filled with commitment, passion and love all of which would make Ike proud. |
