Not Your Average Restaurant

We were excited to learn all about Marlena’s Mediterranean Deli and how they have gotten where they are today, so we sat down with the Co-Owner, Wessam Alachouch.

The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that makes Marlena’s Mediterranean Deli stand apart from their competitors. Wessam told us that they work hard on their mission to keep everyone happy by keeping the food authentic and always focusing on quality. Wessam told us that they actually make everything from scratch!

Building Success By Providing Quality

After two years in business, Marlena’s Mediterranean Deli has managed to build an incredible reputation, so we were excited to learn more about how they have grown and marketed their business. Wessam told us that they have used Instagram, Facebook, and word of mouth.

There are many businesses out there that are looking to build as impressive a reputation as Marlena’s Mediterranean Deli has managed to. We asked if Wessam could share any expert advice with these companies. Here’s what he had to say:

“Keep it authentic; do not copy anyone else. Be yourself.”


Congratulations to Marlena’s Mediterranean Deli for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and special thanks to Wessam for taking the time to speak with us!
