\nVallie Autumn, right, and Teil Durrin serve up a meal at Benny’s Deli & Sandwiches, a new business at 974 Route 9 in Queensbury that serves an array of different sandwiches.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

After its initial five weeks in business, Benny’s Deli & Sandwiches is doing “phenomenally,” according to its owners, Rebecca and Jason Southwood.<\/p>\n

Located at 974 Route 9 in Queensbury, the business has already earned a five-star rating on Facebook and its owners are looking forward to a strong summer of business.<\/p>\n

Benny’s differs from some other delis and sandwich shops because of its line of bread-less options, using vegetables like cucumbers, bell peppers and lettuce in place of bread.<\/p>\n

The owners’ decision to add the bread-less items is, in part, a homage to Rebecca’s deceased brother, Benjamin Mulderry, who died in 2012 after a long battle with diabetes. He was also the impetus behind the Southwood’s decision to open a deli.<\/p>\n

“Benny was a chef and worked in delis for many years,” she said. When the Southwoods decided to purchase and renovate the Queensbury location, they weren’t sure at first what they would do with the property. They both have experience owning and operating bars. Rebecca is the former owner of Pure in Albany, and her husband owned Mardi Gras, also in Albany.<\/p>\n

Currently, they own and operate Spa City Tap & Barrel and the Bourbon Room, bars located on Caroline Street in Saratoga Springs.
\n“But, we had no experience running a deli,” said Rebecca. Despite that, they decided to open the deli in memory of her brother. And, it seems to be working for them.<\/p>\n

Currently, about 80 percent of their business comes from people who work in the surrounding area, as well as commuters who regularly drive past Benny’s. The Southwoods also hope to attract tourists during the busy summer and fall seasons.<\/p>\n

The extensive menu includes salads and sandwiches on fresh breads rolls, using Boar’s Head meats and cheeses, in addition to fresh, locally grown produce and fruits. There is also a “build your own” sandwich option and freshly made salads.<\/p>\n

All of the sandwiches on the menu are named after family members, including the Southwood’s four children, as well as familiar Lake George locations like the Rockhurst, the Sandy Bay and the Cleverdale.<\/p>\n

“Our customers love the Boar’s Head products,” said Southwood. They purchase breads from Gambles Bakery, located on Sweet Road, and their hoagies are made by Sweet Basil and delivered fresh daily.<\/p>\n

In addition to sandwiches and salads, Benny’s also features specialty cakes and cookies made by Jessica Casucci, owner of Just Cake.<\/p>\n

Benny’s is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays. The Southwoods are considering opening earlier for breakfast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
