About Us

Hometown Bagel is family owned and operated. Since 1995 Mike and Dawn have made it their mission to serve quality bagels to their customers. In the beginning Mike ran the bakery and Dawn worked the counter. The first retail location was in Hometown, Illinois, which is also how we got our name. Mike had bigger dreams than just a retail store. He laced up his "selling shoes" and hit the streets, leaving samples all over Chicagoland and to anyone that would let him in the door. Today you can find our bagels across the Midwest in grocery stores and possibly in your local cafe or restaurant. 

For the past 29 years the business has significantly grown because of our persistence of having the best quality bagels, great prices, and excellent service.

Hometown BCN aka Hometown Bagel is truly a family owned and operated business! Over the past 10 years all four of their children and a number of close friends have bonded together to help grow the company. We have added many new products, and just recently in June of 2022, moved into our very own building in South Chicago Heights, IL. This new and updated facility has streamlined production and has added additional capacity for future growth. 

The future is very bright for Hometown BCN!
