Reno… holy hell. Thank you. ❤️
Today ended on the highest note we could’ve imagined — and what a way to go out.
This week we served almost 2,000 sandwiches — roughly 5× our normal volume. That kind of support is a once-in-a-lifetime gift.
What meant even more than the numbers were you:
the stories, the memories, the gifts, the tears, the laughs. First-timers who discovered us on our last week, and longtime regulars who’ve been with us since before we ever took over the space.
This is how you end a chapter — with a bang, not a whisper. We're going out on our terms instead of bending the knee.
Your generosity allowed us to take incredible care of our staff, and for that we’re endlessly grateful.
Now it’s time for a well-earned rest — especially for our crew who gave everything they had.
Will we be back? Who knows...
24 years is a damn good run. We fed nearly 1% of Reno this week, and tens of thousands of you over the years. We've been with you from births to weddings to funerals. What a privilege it's been to call all of Reno our family.
Until next time — eat well, be happy, and thank you for letting us be part of your lives.
With all of our love,
— All of us at Rick’s Deli Cafe
