“Over the decades, certain places come to symbolize their time or are unique to the city. Such places often seem irreplaceable, the notion of selling them as if they were mere commodities would strike many as unorthodox,” the listing says.

Frank’s Deli has been a longtime local favorite, not only because of its food but because of its affordable prices. Some favorite dishes include their assortment of breakfast platters, grilled cheese sandwiches with bacon, tomato, and ham, soups, salads, Italian, Greek, and Mexican specialties.

On May 1, 1960, Frank’s Deli and Restaurant opened its doors.

“A special thank you to all of our valued customers throughout the years. We appreciate all of you. Frank’s has made it through some tough times in the past-Hurricane Sandy, blizzards, power failures, long-lasting road construction, and now a global pandemic. We hope to serve the community for years to come,” said owner Joe Maggio and the rest of the deli team on its website.

Frank’s was featured on the late Anthony Bourdain Food Trail.

“The place to pick up overstuffed sandwiches on the way to the beach. As I always like to say, good is good forever. Try the classic Jersey sandwich: sliced ham, provolone, tomato, onions, shredded lettuce, roasted peppers, oil and vinegar," he said.
