The formation of Yenta's Bagels will become one of the most fascinating stories in business history. Literally formed from an idea and brought to fruition from the pure belief of it's founders, Hank Cooper and Diane Cohen.
When the full story is told, it will become a testament to the power of belief and how it can overcome the adversity in growing a business. Some people say that Yenta's started from the ground up, but we started underground, right from a seed germinating in the minds of two people.
Anybody that knows Hank and Yenta from their beginnings can completely attest to their hard work and creativity, but too many things happened that were beyond the control of any humans and has ultimately formed the backbone of business ethics that Yenta's lives by in every facet of life and business and the people we deal with on every level.
Our recipes have been checked and rechecked by food scientist John J. Kagan, who wrote the original formula for Lipton's Instant Cup of Soup and made the prestigious magazine Men of Science for discovering how to make tea soluble, so we can now enjoy products like Lipton's Brisk and millions of other generic ice teas in the world today. This man was responsible for literally creating products which created a domino effect into the billions each, and that is just two of his accomplishments over his long life as a food scientist. He has helped enormously in the research and development of our products and has given us an edge that most mega corporations ever enjoy. Too good to be true, you may say, but Uncle Johnny Kagan happens to be co-founder Hank Cooper's closest uncle on his Mother's side. John J. Kagan gave us his genius right up until he died in May of 2001.
