A friend of mine is buying a run down liquor store deli and is going
to renovate and make it new. Besides all the usual cold cuts and
sloppy joes and soup can anyone suggest something different that is
profitable and tastes good or any ideas at all.
Thank You

Pozole. Keep a bubbling pot of it going and the world
will beat a path to your friend's store.

Maybe you wuld but I couldn't.

I would suggest fried foods. Fried potato wedges, those cheap
burritos, chicken wings, gizzards (cooked for at last 12 minutes).
The markup on all those is pretty good.

My favorite deli had great sandwiches that people would come
from miles around to order. They had their signature crusty bread
and they had a nice assortment of salads you could order with it.
(sandwich menu follows) Then they had some great baked goods,
and it was a great place to grab a cup of coffee and a muffin or whatever.

I say had because the place burned down last fall, but they're still
in the catering business. I hope they reopen their deli. But I'd say
the catering side would be profitable, too. Just a thought.

Brilliant : dirty, greasy, smelly, work intensive and a fire risk.

I dont think it would be possible to come up with a worse idea.

Every thread I have seen responded to by this poster has nothing of value to
add, merely a flaming insult to whomever has answered prior. Here's one for
you Boggie.........a couple of years ago, the BBC had a show on called MI-5.
An undercover agent was 'found out' and they stuck him head first into the
deep fat fryer.....try it to yourself, you might like it.

panini, cubans, other types of 'grilled' sandwiches. A number of years ago,
I worked at a coffee shoppe. The sandwiches we had that could be served
either grilled or cold were the biggest sellers.

That's probably regional. Nobody around here knows what pozole
is. I'm a foodie, and I had to look it up.

For the OP:

Decent salads. Potato salad, cole slaw. Not too much sugar.

One thing that has been going over very well in this area is wraps.
Easy to make especially since this is already a deli. Just a small
sandwich board/station would be all that is needed.

There is a chain that is going great guns called RolyPoly Sandwiches.
http://www.rolypoly.com/ It is an interesting idea and the local place
seems to be doing very well.

Decent sandwiches on non-collapsible bread or rolls.

Important to have friendly, prompt service and plenty of coverage
during the lunch hour.

Really good coffee. Find a local coffee roaster,
so that the beans are always fresh. That makes
a huge difference.

Espresso is another possibility, but requires
some amount of skill and experience, even when
a highly automated machine is used.

Aww, shucks. And here I was hoping it was something personal
against just me. You mean I have to share him with everybody else?
