Food and community are what it’s all about at Saanich’s Lox, Stock and Bagel Deli at the Jewish Community Centre on Shelbourne Street.
The deli reopened on Oct. 11 and Rose Carr, who has worked there for 33 years, is currently training a new chef to take over.
Carr is retiring because “I need some sleep,” she says with a smile.
When the deli opened over 33 years ago, there were only a few chairs and tables, and only 15 people could be seated, but they have since become a victim of their success and can get very busy, according to Carr.
