Dean’s Deli in Flat Rock has new owners

This time, a story in the Times-News about the new owners of Dean's Deli:

Shannon Zlacki said that as soon as she saw the deli and other shops on Rainbow Row near the Flat Rock Playhouse, “We thought, ‘Oh my gosh! This is the cutest, quaintest little town. If we were on vacation we would definitely come to Flat Rock. We enjoy kayaking and biking. The mountains are beautiful and the people here are so friendly.”

On Nov. 1, Shannon Zlacki’s birthday, [Dustin and Shannon] sold their home in Pittsburgh and bought Dean’s.

The Deans have spent the week training the Zlackis on the ins and outs of running the business. Kathy Dean has also been sharing family recipes for the deli’s most popular sandwiches. They include “The Big Mamma,” a turkey and bacon sandwich; “Kathy’s Club,” which includes ham, cheese, turkey and bacon; and “Ed’s Big Mouth,” which is named after Kathy Dean’s father and includes provolone cheese, ham and lots of salami. . .

Dustin Zlacki said that for now, not much will change, but the couple are considering a few options. . .
