The inside story

A family owned restaurant...

The Franklin Mercantile Deli has been owned and operated by Graeme and Corrie Asch for the past nine years.

The Aschs believe in top-notch customer service and quality food offerings. Their focus on serving customers has set the tone for the Mercantile as a place trusted by its "regulars." When you walk in the door of the restaurant, you know what to expect ... great food and a pleasant experience.
