About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At midnight one foggy night, a delivery driver pulled up to Ricky’s Meats & Deli. The neon sign flickered ominously as he unloaded crates of sausage links. Suddenly, an old man in a trench coat approached from behind the deli counter. The old man whispered something about ‘special deals’ and pointed towards the backroom. Curious but cautious, the driver followed him through a hidden door. Inside was a secret room filled with exotic cheeses and rare sausages—all marked down for cash only. Turns out, it was just another neighborhood trick to get free samples before closing time.
2. At dawn one humid morning, a neighborhood dog began howling uncontrollably outside Ricky’s Meats & Deli. The sound echoed through the streets, waking everyone early. As it turned out, an overzealous squirrel had stolen a bag of dog treats from inside Ricky’s, and was trying to hide them in a nearby tree. The poor pup just wanted his snack back!
3. One day after closing, an employee locked up Ricky’s Meats & Deli as usual. But when he flicked off the lights and turned around, he saw something odd in the reflection of the glass door—someone was still inside, whispering, ‘Gotta get that last piece.’ Curious, he peeked through the glass and saw only empty shelves. Smiling to himself, he thought maybe it was just his imagination playing tricks. Then, from behind him came a soft voice: 'Hey, you forgot to put back that last piece!' Turns out, it was just a delivery driver who’d left a delicious-looking ham slice on the counter.
4. At lunchtime, a regular was slicing ham behind the counter when he heard something peculiar coming from the freezer section. Curious, he walked over and saw that one of the deli’s neighbors had accidentally left their dog inside the freezer. The poor pooch was shivering but otherwise unharmed. With a laugh, the regular helped the neighbor retrieve their frozen friend and promised never to leave again without saying goodbye.
