PEORIA, Ill. (WMBD) — A popular deli is making waves with significant news for local food lovers. Pottstown Meat & Deli announced on Monday its intent to return to its original location next year after spending nearly two decades at the Metro Center. According to their Facebook post, this long-awaited move will take effect in February 2025, much to the delight of their loyal customers.
When Pottstown Meat & Deli first opened at the Metro Center 18 years ago, the owners had never intended to close their original Pottstown site. The deli maintained the location as a production facility, where they created most of their homemade smoked products during nighttime hours and Sundays. "When we opened here at the Metro Centre 18 years ago, it was never our intention to close the Pottstown store. While we may have closed the retail shop there, we still maintained the location as a production facility... it's not a sustainable way to operate," explained the deli's spokesperson.
This nostalgic return is not just about tradition; it stems from necessity. The recent announcement reminded loyal customers, especially those considering gift cards during the holiday season, to prepare for their dining experience at the Pottstown location, signaling the end of some logistical back-and-forth between locations.
Meanwhile, if you're located on the other side of the country and crave gourmet burgers, Holsteins Shakes & Buns is gearing up to bask under the vibrant lights of Downtown Las Vegas. Having established itself as one of the beloved burger spots on the Las Vegas Strip for nearly 15 years, the restaurant aims to expand its culinary offerings with a new location set to open next to The Velveteen Rabbit at 1216 S. Main Street.
The anticipated opening is targeted for spring 2025. Renowned for its gourmet burgers, salads, and decadent milkshakes, Holsteins will continue to offer what many have come to cherish: satisfying meals complemented by happy hour specials. With the new location, the restaurant is likely to draw both locals and tourists who are on the lookout for unique dining experiences.
These developments signal exciting times for culinary scenes both locally and across the country. Whether it’s the Pottstown Meat & Deli rekindling its roots or Holsteins Shakes & Buns venturing to increase its footprint, food enthusiasts have plenty to look forward to. With additional choices enriching the dining landscapes, patrons will soon have more opportunities to enjoy diverse flavors and beloved staples.
All things considered, these announcements not only showcase the resilience of local businesses but also their commitment to serving customers with quality and heart. Patrons can look forward to revisiting cherished favorites and discovering new delights.
