🥪 Meet Downtown Inc.'s August Merchant of the Month: Stage Deli! 🎉

For years, Stage deli has been serving up more than incredible sandwiches at 26 N George Street—they've been serving the Downtown York community with heart.

Owner Darren Borodin has created a place where regulars are greeted by name, first-time visitors are treated like old friends, and every meal comes with a side of genuine hospitality. It's businesses like Stage Deli that give downtown its character and make people want to come back again and again.

Whether you're stopping in for your favorite lunch, grabbing a quick bite between meetings, or introducing someone to one of Downtown York's classic spots, Stage Deli always delivers.

Congratulations to Darren and the entire Stage Deli team on being recognized as our August Merchant of the Month! 👏

Show them some love this month by stopping in, saying hello, and supporting one of the local businesses that helps make Downtown York such a special place.
