From Anaheim to Old Town: The Rebirth of Tony’s Original Deli

"When I was decorating the bar, I didn’t think much of it... but now I’m realizing it’s kind of a mirror of myself."If you’ve ever wondered what happens when a historic sandwich shop loses its lease but gains a relentless owner, look no further than the latest buzz at Tony’s Original Deli. After fifty years of serving Anaheim, owner Liam Stanton found himself "homeless" and racing against a ticking clock to keep his liquor license. In a twist of fate that feels more like a movie script than a business plan, he rediscovered a forgotten building on the very street where he grew up. Transitioning from an old tax office with zero plumbing to a bright, open community hub, the new Tony’s is officially breathing fresh life into Old Town Placentia. It’s the kind of place where you can grab a massive, fresh-sliced sandwich and a cold beer while admiring local memorabilia that was literally rescued from a school basement.Visit them at: 132 S Bradford Ave, Placentia, CA 92870
