9th Street Deli began as a dream to bring delicious deli sandwiches to an eclectic St. Louis area. Brian Tracy envisioned a friendly, neighborhood establishment that had as much individuality as it did flavor. He invited two of his good friends, John Been, Jr. and Mike Risk, to join him on this endeavor. Combined with Brian's business expertise and sincerity, John's creativity and Mike's culinary skills helped to create 9th Street Deli in Soulard. With every detail, you can appreciate the hard work and dedication that has gone into making this deli a truly original experience.
