McAlister's Deli left us a while back but is now making its grand return to the Lake Area. The new place will be on 306 W. Prien Lake Road, and the opening date has finally been set! The Deli has announced its opening date for February 28 and will be open 7 days a week: Sun-Thurs 1030am to 9pm and Fri-Sat 1030am-10pm.
