Jason’s Deli is a fast-food chain founded in 1976. It announced it would be shutting down all its remaining locations in Indianapolis, Indiana. This meant a closure of two stores, but it had already been closing stores in the area for some time. Since 1976, Joe Tortorice, Jr. has been its CEO and the location of its headquarters has remained the same – Beaumont, Texas. Deli’s first branch opened in Beaumont as well. The company is privately held, and specializes in fast-casual dining, comparable to Panera Bread or McAlister’s.
