Twenty-five years of stacked sandwiches, generous portions, and a whole lot of memories is worth celebrating, and East Bay Deli is inviting Soda City residents to the party.

The deli opened its first location on East Bay Street in downtown Charleston in 2001 with a goal of bringing a true New York-style deli experience to the Lowcountry, and it’s been serving up classic favorites — with a side of big flavor and warm hospitality — ever since.

Today, East Bay Deli has grown from one Charleston location to 12, and the team is marking its 25th anniversary with a family-friendly event in Cayce on Thursday, Sept. 17.

From 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., guests can enjoy food samples, anniversary giveaways, cake cutting, and balloon artists.

Pro tip: While you’re there, try a local favorite like the New York Yankee or The Citadel.
