Original Rosenfeld’s Deli remains open in Ocean City, owner thanks community for strong support

OCEAN CITY, Md. – Calling all Reuben sandwiches lovers! There’s been a big change in plans for the future of Rosenfeld’s Deli in Ocean City, as their doors will remain open.

Just earlier this month, Owner Warren Rosenfeld announced that location would be closing its doors due to building repairs and a need for updated equipment.

He tells 47ABC that due to the overwhelming community response, the landlord agreed to renew the lease and pay a large portion of those upgrades.

Now, the Jewish Deli will call the resort town home for another two years. “Everybody’s been telling us the community wouldn’t be the same without us. You do realize as a business owner it’s not about the money, it’s really about your place in people’s hearts,” Rosenfeld said.

“Without the customer response, this just wouldn’t have happened. The landlord wouldn’t have been as receptive. It’s really because of the customers we’re at this location for another two years.”

As a thank you to the community, a free bowl of soup was given out Monday with any sandwich purchase.

That location will remain open as of now through Labor Day 2024.
