Pandolfi’s Deli to open next week in Columbus Park

The family-owned Pandolfi’s Deli spans four generations. The youngest

— Jake Hendershot — has been tasked with launching the business here

in Kansas City.

“People have been stopping by to wish us luck for months. They think

it’s good for the neighborhood and I agree,”  Hendershot says.

Hendershot

has been renovating the space at 538 Campbell since February. He

knocked out two interior walls in the former storefront to create an

open feel from the front door to the kitchen. Working alongside him has

been his grandfather, Robert Pandolfi — the owner of the building —

as well as his mother, Linda (Robert’s daughter), and father, Mike.  

“We’re a real family business,” Hendershot says. “I can’t do anything without them.”
