Philly cuisine arrives in NEK

Opening a new business anywhere in America is not easy in this economy. It's even more difficult when trying to do so in a rural area, and two of your competitors are within sight of your establishment, and a third is less than half a mile up the road.

George Frank is attempting to do just that, and in exactly these circumstances.

The Philadelphia native held a grand opening for his new business last week. George's Deli is located at the recently reopened Valero gas station on Broad St. in Lyndonville, right next to the Miss Lyndonville Diner and across the street from the Bagel Depot. However, his menu offers something that his competitors don't: tastes from the City of Brotherly Love, featuring everything from the classic Philly Cheesesteak to the Blue Devil Sandwich.

Frank's business has been open for just over a month now. He says that if you can start a business in a bad economic climate, you have a leg up on the competition for the future. He also says that he and his employees look to be in for the long haul.
