A beloved business on the East Side of Binghamton is being resurrected by a husband and wife who are former customers of the place.

Brent and Andrea Hannum have been hard at work in recent weeks preparing to reopen Pasquale's Deli at 180 Broad Avenue with the menu fans had enjoyed for years.

The Hannums and their daughter, Brianna, are excited that they now are able to welcome people back to Pasquale's.

The deli had been a fixture in Binghamton for decades. Regular patrons were stunned when the business closed without advance notice in October 2023.

The owner of another city restaurant made an effort to operate a revised version of Pasquale's in what was billed as a soup and sandwich shop. The changes weren't embraced by people who loved the original deli.

When the Hannums revealed their plan to replicate the Pasquale's they knew and loved in an WNBF News interview a few weeks ago, they made it clear they were excited by the opportunity.

Ever since the story broke about the return of the "original" Pasquale's, people have been stopping by to see if operations had resumed.

The doors are scheduled to open at 6 a.m. Saturday. With just hours to go before the big opening, the family members expressed gratitude for the support they've received from the community.
