Struggling Customers Confronted With A Blunt Sign From Deli Owner

Catching His Attention

It was a day like any other for him and his wife. It was late in the day already when they checked their deli inventory.

There was something that caught the man’s attention. He noticed a black sedan parked right outside the building. When he focused on it a bit more, he soon rushed out of the store.

Ali Farouk had been looking for a way to provide for his family while he ran a 50-year-old restaurant alive. That’s when he decided to buy a local deli in a small town in Cleveland.

He had recently moved with his family. He, his wife, and their two sons wanted to settle in as smoothly as possible. But what he found in the new neighborhood would bring out a side of him he never knew he had.

Like any other immigrant, Ali wanted to make the best of his time in a new country. Life hadn’t been easy where he had come from. He felt lucky to have moved his family to America and wanted to start their new life on a good foot.

After living in New York for a few years, he and his wife decided to move to Cleveland’s quieter environment. They wanted to find somewhere to raise their family. But they had no clue what was in store for them.

Once Ali had enough money saved up, he started looking around for the perfect profession to take on. That’s when he found a small deli searching for a new owner.

He made quick to take on the opportunity and bought the establishment. He had been a cook when they lived in New York, and the knowledge he had gained would come in handy now. He believed that fate had brought him there, but little did he know he was wrong.

Ali and his family had no difficulty calling their new small town home. It had everything they ever wanted, from great weather to the welcoming populace.

It wasn’t long before they integrated with the surrounding area and expected things to run smoothly. But that’s not what happened. Ali would soon do something he never thought he would.
