ANGOLA, N.Y. — On Monday, the walls were raised on Deli O's On The Lake's new storefront.
It comes nearly 2 years after a fire ripped through the business, destroying everything inside. The building was a total loss.
Owner Brandy Lombardo tells 2 On Your Side, she is "so excited to reopen," adding that Monday's construction marks 6 years and 1 day since the convenience shop and deli's first grand opening.
Once construction is complete, the new Deli O's will be even bigger than the original store, offering both indoor and outdoor seating.
In the time that Deli O's has been closed, Lombardo opened the only bar in the Village of Angola, BTR Brews. Recently, she talked to 2 On Your Side's Andy Paden in October about the Village's open container rules.
