New leadership at Schmear Bagel & Café has
recharged their menu and the storefront with a new logo and awning. New owner, George Tsikis has implemented changes to many recipes and introduced more freshly made menu items. With the help of the sign grant, George revived the outside of the store as well. The grant program sponsored by the Port Washington B.I.D. supports these types of upgrades as they improve the look and feel of the commercial corridor and recognize business owners who invest in the curb appeal of our community.
George has a family legacy in hospitality and food service and brings his passion to Schmear Bagel & Café. George says, “I extend my heartfelt appreciation to the Port Washington Business Improvement District. Being a small business owner in Port is truly an honor. I look forward to continuing to contribute to our wonderful community.”
Cindie Leigh comments, “As a local business owner and B.I.D. board member I am proud to support Schmear Bagel & Cafe with the award of a sign grant. Schmear is a local breakfast and lunchtime gem loved by the Port Washington community. It provides not only an extensive healthful menu, but also offers a warm and inviting spot to gather in the center of town. We wish them continued success”
