How can we support Mediterranean Deli and the other businesses affected by last weekend’s fire? Aaron chats with Stephanie Cobert of the Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership, who discusses the plan that emerged when town leaders met on Wednesday – and what individuals can do to help as well, including purchasing gift cards from the impacted businesses (and placing catering orders at Med Deli). Cobert also provides an update about the businesses’ timeline for reopening – including Med Deli, which is set to reopen for catering this weekend at a temporary new location.
