Donnie D's Bagels and Deli in Roanoke, Virginia, is set to reopen after being closed for several months due to a significant fire that caused extensive damage. Owner Donnie DeGeorgis is thrilled to announce the return of fresh bagels, a beloved staple of the local breakfast culture.

During the closure, the family-run establishment adapted by adding new items like biscuits and cheeseburgers to its menu. In addition, the team took the opportunity to upgrade equipment and rethink the store’s layout to enhance efficiency. This challenging period underscored the vital role local businesses play in the Roanoke Valley and reinforced the community’s commitment to supporting them.

The deli will reopen its doors at 6:00 a.m. on Saturday. DeGeorgis emphasizes the importance of family involvement in the restaurant, highlighting the strong connection between local commerce and the community it serves.

A fire broke out at Batech, a family-owned industrial facility located at 61 North Commerce Street in Virginia, leading to considerable damage to the property. Batech specializes in the manufacturing of recyclable plastics. Fortunately, there were no serious injuries reported, although one firefighter received treatment for minor burns at Roanoke Memorial Hospital.

Jason Ferguson, Chief of Fire and EMS for Botetourt County, praised the quick response from emergency services, which were aided by multiple partners to bring the fire under control by 2:30 p.m. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation, with the Virginia Department of Emergency Management monitoring the situation closely to ensure protection against potential environmental hazards. This underscores the importance of cooperation in managing civil litigation that may arise from such incidents.

Since opening in 2020, the Batech family faces an uncertain future as they begin the recovery process from this devastating event.
