Famous 4th Street Deli on 19th Is Under New Ownership

This morning, HughE Dillon tipped us off that the sign at the Original Famous 4th Street Deli on 19th Street was being replaced with a “Kaufmans” sign. A worker inside the deli says that the business is under new ownership but the menu remains the same. However, she wasn’t able to shed any light on who the new owner is (Update below).

A call to the original Original Famous 4th Street Deli at 4th and Bainbridge verified that only the 19th Street location has been affected by the sale and business continues as usual.

UPDATE: Michael Klein has the details, Famous 4th Street Deli owner Russ Cowan sold the business to Rich Kaufman and Ken Keating.
