The place? Tuscon, AZ.
The year? 1988

It's the home of our first franchised deli and it's still around almost two decades later. Yeah, we were nervous. But wouldn't you be if it was your baby? Happily, all went well and from there more locations in various cities throughout Texas were opened: San Antonio, Corpus Christi, and Longview (that's out in East Texas, ya'll). In 1994, we branched out of Texas into Louisiana and Colorado. And, as the story goes, success outside of Texas lead to locations as far West as California, North as Utah and East as Florida. Currently we are averaging around 12 new franchise locations a year. Not too shabby, eh?
