McAlister's Deli Opens in Cape Girardeau!

244 S. Mount Auburn Road - Cape Girardeau, MO

Don and Cheri Harris have opened Southeast Missouri's first McAlister’s Deli in the Lorimont Place development at 244 S. Mount Auburn Road in Cape Girardeau.  Tom Kelsey, commercial broker with Lorimont Place, Ltd., who handled the transaction, said the new sit down deli restaurant occupies over 4,000 square feet on the development’s north end adjacent to Westfield Shopping Mall. The new food operation also includes a large outside dining area.

McAlister’s Deli is a nation wide franchise restaurant chain started in 1989 in Oxford, Mississippi.  In 1995 INC Magazine recognized McAlister’s Corporation, as one of America’s fastest growing privately owned companies.  Don Harris, who has extensive food service experience, said the restaurant focuses on a healthy menu, a non-fast food atmosphere and affordable family pricing.  McAlister’s feature 100 menu items including sandwiches, spuds, salads, soups, and sweets. They are also well known for their sweet tea. All items will be offered for carryout and catering will also be available.

This is the fourth McAlister’s Deli location in Missouri.  They also have plans to open restaurants in Carbondale, Paducah and South County St. Louis. Other Missouri restaurants include Ballwin, St. Charles and Springfield.
