It91裸聊视频檚 a well-known eatery in Kelowna but if you91裸聊视频檝e been there lately, you may have seen that Pearson91裸聊视频檚 European Deli has a couple of new faces.

After 30 years, founders and former owners Paul and Shan Pearson felt it was time for them to step back and let someone else take the reins at the deli, so they decided to put it on sale.

One of the Pearsons91裸聊视频� sons, Michael, got to talking to one of his neighbours and suggested he should buy the deli.

After taking some time to think about it, Landon and Stephanie Schoales finally talked to the Pearsons, who happened to live four doors down from Stephanie91裸聊视频檚 parents.

91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 a small world, especially here in Kelowna,91裸聊视频� Landon said.

91裸聊视频淲e sat down and had an amazing conversation with them.91裸聊视频�

Stephanie said it felt just right.

91裸聊视频淲e instantly connected in so many ways. Our lives parallel in so many ways, moving from Ontario to here, two small boys, both wanting to take that next step for our families, and it all just seemed so right,91裸聊视频� Stephanie said.

91裸聊视频淓verything felt aligned and special and it just went on from there.91裸聊视频�

The Schoales took over the deli on Dec. 1 and have been operating it since then. They decided to keep the name and the location and much of everything else, including the staff members, which means the deli is still the exact same one that locals already love.

91裸聊视频淥ur future plan is to continue what the Pearsons have been doing for the past 30 years because it works,91裸聊视频� Landon said.

91裸聊视频淭here91裸聊视频檚 no reason to change the world here, except for little tweaks here and there on the menu to keep things fresh for the people walking through the door.91裸聊视频�

Stephanie, a Red Seal chef who has appeared on the T.V. show 91裸聊视频楥hopped91裸聊视频� and represented Canada in international competitions, said she is slowly introducing new items to the menu. She said the feedback so far has been positive. She added that another change they want to make is to work with more local vendors and feature local ingredients.

The Pearsons are now enjoying their retirement. Shan said they91裸聊视频檙e still trying to figure it out.

91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 a little weird. We91裸聊视频檙e having a little bit of trouble filling our days but we91裸聊视频檙e enjoying it,91裸聊视频� she said.

91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檙e just really happy to see them doing as well as they are, especially with the pandemic. Hopefully, all of our regular customers will come and see them and feel just as cozy as they did with us.91裸聊视频�

The Pearsons said the Schoales aren91裸聊视频檛 alone in this new adventure: they may not work at the deli anymore but if the new owners need a hand, they91裸聊视频檒l be close by.
