Oregon Deli Closing

July 18, 2017 by PDX Food Dude Leave a Comment

Dear Friends,

After 2.5 years & 50,000 sandwiches, Oregon Deli will be closing on Saturday July 22nd.

We would like to thank all of those amazing people whom have helped us along the way. Including but not limited to:  Our great team of staff, the businesses on Historic Mississippi Ave, our daily regulars & corporate clients.

The hard part is to let go when we are profitable & still growing as a business.  The easy part is this decision will allow me to spend more time with the loved ones in my life, especially my very patient wife and beautiful daughter.  Life has presented me with an opportunity to work less, spend more time with family, reduce stress & enjoy all of the little things that were cast aside to focus on this endeavor.  The choice is clear.

I feel very blessed to have had the freedom & opportunity to make this journey.  I will never have to wonder what could have been if I had only tried.

What a great challenge and learning experience this has been.  The industry is amazingly hard and we proved ourselves successful.

There are too many to thank individually, but know that your friendship & support will not be forgotten.

We invite you all to visit us over the next week to say goodbye and have one last bite of “Farm to Deli”.

Justin Wheeler & Oregon Deli Team

Oregon Deli is at 3560 N Mississippi Ave, Portland, OR 97227
