McAlister's Deli

McAlister’s Gourmet Deli was started by Dr. Don Newcomb in 1989 in a converted gas station in Oxford, Mississippi. It started as a simple concept, making the perfect sandwich hot, fast, and DELI-licious. In 1992 a second store opened in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, and in 1993 a third store was added in Tupelo, Mississippi. In 1994, the Company opened their flagship store in Ridgeland, Mississippi, and in 1998 the Company was purchased and established as McAlister’s Corporation.
