Deli Owner Makes Blunt Sign Aimed At Struggling Customers

Rushing Outside

It was a typical day in the deli where he and his wife spent the afternoon hours taking inventory for their deli.

The man saw something when he looked outside. He had noticed a black sedan parked outside the building and decided to look closer. What he saw had him rushing outside.

Ali Farouk 

When Ali Farouk decided to buy a local deli in a small town in Cleveland, he only sought to provide for his family while also keeping the almost five-decade-old store cum restaurant alive.

He’d recently moved into the town with his wife and two sons and wanted to fit in as fast as possible. But what he would witness in his new neighborhood would drive him to extremes he never thought possible.

The Land Of Opportunity

Ali was like most immigrants looking to make the most of their time in a new country. After enduring troubling times in his country of origin and managing to get his family to the safety of American soil, he only wanted to start life afresh.

He and his wife lived in New York for a few years before deciding to relocate to Cleveland for a quieter environment where they could raise their family. They had no idea what awaited them there.

Buying The Deli

Ali had saved up enough money to start a business. He’d spent a few months scoping out the perfect occupation to venture into and soon ran into a small deli that needed a new owner.

Of course, he purchased the establishment without wasting any time. It blended well with his lifestyle, given that he’d been a cook back in New York, amassing knowledge in the culinary arts. He was confident he was where he was always meant to be. He was wrong.

Their Paradise

For Ali and his family, their new small town was everything they ever wanted in a place to call home. The weather was great, and the people were welcoming.

Before they knew it, their family had already amalgamated with the localities. But instead of everything running smoothly, things began taking a turn for the worst. It wouldn’t be long until Ali did the unthinkable.
