History of Elliotts' Off Broadway® Deli
In 1986 when George Pulice, President of Elliotts' Off Broadway® Deli, Inc., converted a bowling alley coffee shop in Downers Grove, Illinois into a popular deli restaurant, the first Elliotts’ Off Broadway® Deli was born. The New York deli theme restaurant became a hit, particularly with the fast-paced lunch crowd who quickly discovered Elliotts' array of fresh prepared sandwiches, daily specials, hearty soups, bagels, desserts, and other goodies—all this and fast service too! The decor was equally enticing with colorful tiffany lamps, Casablanca fans, and old-time movie posters. Even the black and white checkerboard tile floors and sparkling deli counters said “Welcome to the Big Apple’s theater district!” It wasn’t long before the dream of owning and running a deli-style restaurant was made available to others through franchise sales.
The first franchised Elliotts' opened in a large office building in Oakbrook Terrace. As several more Elliotts’ began appearing around Chicagoland the word spread that Elliotts’ was a great place to eat. And as they say-- the rest is history!
