Greensboro Favorite Permanently Closes After Nearly 30 Years

Jack's Corner Mediterranean Deli said that it was permanently closing its doors after nearly 30 years in business. The Greensboro favorite made the announcement on Sunday, posting a heartfelt statement on its website addressed to its "valued friends and guests."

"We celebrate more than 28 years of welcoming our guests, introducing them (and Greensboro) to Mediterranean cuisine, and serving them like family," the statement read in part. "We watched young children grow into adults who then brought their own children to try authentic falafel and tabbouleh for the first time."

The statement said Jack's Corner was grateful to all its guests and hardworking employees for their support throughout the years. The decision to close was not made lightly, they said, and was partly due to the pandemic, among other reasons.

"Jack's became a community, where people gathered to share stories, listen to music, and engage in lively discussions," the statement continued. "While the food nourished our customers, our guests nourished our relationships. We made countless dear friends along the way, and for all this we thank each of you."

For those who will miss sampling the Mediterranean cuisine typical at Jack's, the restaurant encourages them to visit Jack's sister, Ginah, at Wallstreet Deli and Catering on West Friendly Avenue.
