It’s a very happy new year for Nick’s Deli on East Main St. in Marshall as they mark their 30th anniversary in business. Once known (and still often referred to) as Glascock’s, the jam-packed store literally stocks just about something for everyone, including plenty of hard-to-find toilet paper (during a panic run on the product) and bleach in the early stages of the pandemic. Joe Sarsour, the son of equally dynamic deli founder Nick, presides over the Marshall operation while his delightful dad handles the Warrenton store. It’s definitely a family affair, including several cousins often behind the front counter. The daily menu options are fabulous, including Catfish Fridays. And if you’ve never had one of Nick’s scrumptious oversized French Fries, you’ll definitely know why regulars refer to them as Marshall Frog Legs.

Produce includes mangos, bananas, avocados and more

At Nick’s they call the French Fries “Marshall Frog Legs”

Just beyond the Old Dominion Country Hams, the staples at Nick’s include not just toilet paper (back shelf top right) but also Corona Extra, Charras tortilla chips and a “wine section.”
