McAlister’s Deli Opening New Location in Bristol

Bristol, VA. (November 1, 2018) — McAlister’s Deli®, a leading fast casual chain, will open its doors in Bristol at 1321 Euclid Avenue on Thursday, November 8, 2018 at 10:30 a.m. Known for its genuine hospitality, McAlister’s is home to handcrafted sandwiches, always-fresh salads, giant stuffed spuds, and McAlister’s Famous Sweet Tea™.
 
The first 50 guests in line on November 8, 2018 for the Grand Opening at 10:30 a.m. will receive a punch card allowing the holder to receive 1 free tea a week for 52 weeks. The restaurant will also be giving away prizes to guests dining there during the day-long celebration.
 
It is important for McAlister’s restaurants to give back to the communities they serve. A portion of the first week’s sales will be donated to The Junior League of Bristol TN/VA for the Thanksgiving Dinner Drive. This annual event provides full Thanksgiving meals and weekend-provisions to identified students within the Bristol, Virginia and Bristol, Tennessee school systems.
 
To also celebrate the opening, the Bristol McAlister’s, along with the Bristol Chamber of Commerce, will host a ribbon cutting on Thursday, November 15, 2018 at 10:00 a.m. There, the check will be presented for the upcoming Thanksgiving Dinner Drive.
