John and Pat Kennedy started M.T. Bellies Deli
back in 1990. It was originally located about a block south of the
present location. In 2000, the business was moved to it's present
location. In July of 2002, John and Pat sold the store and deli to
the present owners, Steve and JoAnn Rowe and their two daughters Katherine
and Megan.
This is truly a family business as all four
of the Rowe's work at the store in some capacity. Steve runs things
during the day, while JoAnn works in the deli on Saturdays. Katherine
and Megan chip in after school and on the weekends in the bottle
redemption room. M.T.Bellies Deli isn't just a deli, but is also
a full service convience store with bottle redemption, bulk beer
and wine sales, a growing Nascar sales area, catering and much more.
