With only forty seats and twelve items on the menu, Joe Tortorice opened the first Jason’s Deli in Beaumont, TX, on November 30, 1976. The first year it was open, Joe would work at the deli during lunch, nights and weekends while maintaining a full time job for the State of Texas. When Joe was not at the deli, his wife, parents and grandparents were there taking car of business. Three years after the opening of the first store, Joe opened the second unit in Port Arthur, Texas and “took the town by storm.”
The 1980s saw growth and expansion at Jason’s Deli with the addition of stores in Dallas, Fort Worth, and Tyler, Texas. It also saw the addition of three business partners, Rusty Coco, Pete Verde and Pat Broussard. In 1986 the owners incorporated to form Deli Management, Inc (DMI) and our first franchise location opened in Tucson, Arizona. During the past seven years, Jason’s Deli has gone from being a small, local company to a solid corporation growing at a rate of 10-12 stores per year. This decade, we have opened units in Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, Texas, Oklahoma; Arkansas; Louisiana; Florida; Georgia; Alabama; North and South Carolina; Nevada; Arizona; Colorado; Virginia; and Eden Prairie, Minnesota.
