Old Town deli wants to grow from stop-and-go to full dining experience

Since it opened in February,  Eddie’s Little Shop and Deli (1406 King Street) has been a spot to grab what you need and go, but that could change.

A new special use permit indicates the shop could be adding a little indoor seating soon, giving the bodega-like deli space an area for people to enjoy their meals.

“We are looking to provide seats for our [guests] to enjoy indoors during operating hours,” Deli owner Edward McIntosh wrote in a special use permit. “The table will be able to fit 10-12 guests at a time to create a commercial dining experience.”

Eddie’s Little Shop and Deli opened in the former Deli News & More space in February. The restaurant was inspired by the bodegas in New York City.
