The Zeitlin's Delicatessen Storefront Journey

We are thrilled to bring our dream of opening a Zeitlin's Delicatessen Storefront to life. Our journey towards making this dream a reality has just begun, and we are excited to have our customers as our valued partners throughout every phase of this endeavor.

Together, we will create a welcoming and authentic deli experience that satisfies the cravings of our community, one delicious bite at a time.
‍

Pre-launch phase
Our community helps us choose a location!

In this phase, we invite our customers to state their preferences regarding our store's future location, which -of course- will also be determined by other factors such as:

1) Location and renovation costs
2) New equipment for that location (varies from one location to the other)
3) How soon we can move into a desirable location (that will provide some foot traffic and parking options)
4) How long the commute will be for our bakers

As a majority of restaurants fail to stay open, this survey will play a large role in making us feel secure about our next steps in our journey to serve all of Chicago.

Phase 1
Securing a location and equipment

Once a location is defined and we start looking for a place to rent, we'll activate a Kickstarter campaign that will allow our customers to support us while getting great rewards, and that will let us secure the location and necessary equipment to start baking!

Phase 2
Investing in new teammates

The store is almost a reality! This is where we need to invest in new teammates and qualified personnel that will help us fill the place with love and bagels!‍

Phase 3
Making the place look great

The final step. It's a deli; it needs to look and feel like one. We make a giant statue of BagelBoy... nah, we make the place look great so you can enjoy it the most.

And that's it.
