Popular Deli Closes In Cheshire

CHESHIRE, CT — A popular Cheshire deli specializing in Italian cuisine has closed its doors. The owners of Lazy Susan’s Deli, 1076 South Main St., announced this week that they would be closing and it was time to begin a new chapter.

“After much thought and consideration Lazy Susan’s deli has decided to close our doors and focus on new endeavors,” reads a post on the deli’s Facebook page. “I cannot express how grateful I am for all of your support and loyalty throughout the years.

“This was not an easy decision to make since I truly love what I do. We have built these wonderful friendships together and for that, I will always be truly grateful.”

The owners initially planned to close for good on Wednesday (Feb. 26) but ran out of food on Tuesday due to the overwhelming support after announcing the closure.

One fan praised the deli for going above and beyond for the town’s sports teams.

“Oh nooooo!!!!” the fan wrote in the comments on Facebook. “I worked directly with Susan for Freshman's Boys Soccer Away Games Bus Sandwiches. She was always so accommodating and would reach out to me the morning of the away games. She would have all the sandwiches bagged and labeled with the players’ names and also add words of encouragement. I was genuinely impressed with their exemplary customer service. They even helped carry the boxes to my car! Truly another gem that we lost.

“Susan - I wish the very best in your future endeavors. Thank you for being an active part of our Cheshire Community. We will miss you!!!!”

Another fan wrote, “I am truly sorry to hear this! You have been a great business in town! For us you have helped us tremendously with our fundraisers with your generosity and your willingness to help out. I hope you will stay connected and keep in touch. Best of luck to you Susan… it has been a pleasure to meet you, God Bless.”
