Great evening everyone!!! I hope all is well and I want to first start off by thanking you all who will take the time to read my post… as many of you know I have listed the deli for sale a couple times in hopes to find the perfect buyer who will go in and keep everything the same as that’s how all my friends and family (customers) would like it. I have worked at the deli for 13 years but only took over ownership as of 3 years ago.. it sounded amazing. Being your own boss, working around your own schedule, maybe even making a little more money than an average job.. But what they don’t tell you or prep you for is all the hard stuff. I could go on with that list but I’m sure you can only image the trials that come with being in a restaurant business.. between the road construction, newer restaurants in town, hurricane Ian a couple years ago, and not being busy enough I decided I would get a second job, home bills were falling behind, deli bills were starting to stress me out, I couldn’t seem to stay afloat and now working 15 hours a day I don’t get to see my children. So with one hit after the next and a lot of stress mentally I’ve decided I need to make some changes for myself and my children. As much as it hurts so walk away it’s hurting me even more to stay and do it alone and stress. I’ve become so overwhelmed that I just mentally couldn’t take anymore wrong turns.. last week I had just about all I could take in one day. I said to myself… I’m done… I couldn’t seem to sell, I couldn’t seem to get ahead.. I couldn’t get any help, so I decided to just walk away. I’ve stayed so long and chaged my mind so many times because I just knew working a 40- 50 hour week isn’t going to pay my monthly bills at home. But it’s a risk I’m willing to take. Juggling both was just way too difficult for me. Please keep an eye out for changes to come… I will be leaving the deli towards the middle of November. When the new owners are ready to announce there takeover I will leave that for them… All I have wanted for years now is a clear mind, a happy heart, and a comfortable sleep at night for the first time in many many years.. please come see me as I will still be there until the transition day. I know I came in I gave it 5000 percent and I’m walking away knowing that my god will guide me through any hard times I may have to face.. I thank each and every one of you who came in to support my business and I hope to keep in touch with all of you as you will all be missed dearly. 🫶🏻
