When I take a moment to really think hard about all I have seen from my vantage point behind the counter downtown on the main square of Kent, well, it is simply overwhelming. Literally, the number of customers served, exceeding at a guess, a million, is mind boggling. When considering that we have served to three generations of local p

Our Story

Greetings
Welcome to Franklin Square Deli, established in 1983 and still building 'em right 37 years later!.
A Bit Of History
It sure has been a long run from 1983 to now. When I take a moment to really think hard about all I have seen from my vantage point behind the counter downtown on the main square of Kent, well, it is simply overwhelming. Literally, the number of customers served, exceeding at a guess, a million, is mind boggling. When considering that we have served to three generations of local patrons, I can’t help but to think about how I could not ever have really expected such an outcome on that day when the doors were unlocked for the first time and “The Deli” opened for business.

What was true then is still true now, maybe even more so. Franklin Square Deli is dedicated to a finer quality product at the best and fairest price possible. You will find dedication to producing eye appealing food with the best and freshest ingredients available with a taste that is a step above the common. And we can turn on a dime! Food that takes a great deal of time to produce at other restaurants will be in your basket or packed in your bag, in just a short few moments. We are a friendly and productive staff in a casual, absolutely clean, enjoyable family atmosphere. Come in, feel comfortable, enjoy the motorsports and racing art and enjoy a taste of America... a GREAT SANDWICH!

See you soon, and …

Thank you so much for your support!
