Mom\u2019s Deli located at 4412 Jamieson Ave. will close its doors on Sunday, Feb. 23. The South City deli has been serving customers at its current location since it opened in 1977. Now, after nearly five decades in business, the establishment will close, and according to a sign on the door, the reason for the closure comes down to Mom\u2019s Deli wasn\u2019t able to renew its lease.<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> A repeat Sauce Readers\u2019 Choice Favorite year after year, and recently noted as one of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saucemagazine.com\/stlouis\/5-st-louis-delis-to-check-out-asap\/Slideshow\/17505994\/17506001\" target=\"_blank\">5 St. Louis delis to check out<\/a>, Mom\u2019s Deli offers a variety of hot and cold sandwiches, salads and soups. The huge sandwiches feature fresh bread that is house-made. A Sauce staff favorite is the \u201cMom\u2019s Special,\u201d which has turkey, ham, roast beef and Provel cheese, along with lettuce, tomato, onion and house-made Thousand Island dressing. And it isn\u2019t just the food that keeps customers coming back.\n<\/p>\n<p> With a name like Mom\u2019s Deli and the fact that the business is in a structure that houses the business on the first floor and an apartment above where at one time the original owners Charles and Dolores Vago lived, it exudes the kind of cozy, nostalgic atmosphere you\u2019d expect of a neighborhood deli.\n<\/p>\n<p> It\u2019s unclear what the future holds for Mom\u2019s. Sauce called the deli and spoke with an employee, but Mom\u2019s Deli declined to comment on further details involving the closure.\n<\/p>\n<p> While it\u2019s disappointing to see yet another piece of St. Louis dining history going away, if there is a bright side to look for, at least customers have about two weeks to visit the establishment to order your favorites and bid farewell to the long-time family-owned business in its current location.\n<\/p>\n<p> The business did confirm that the final day of service will be Sunday, Feb. 23, and Mom\u2019s Deli will observe normal operating hours that day, from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mom\u2019s Deli in South City will close its doors on Sunday, Feb.
