COLUMBUS, Miss.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The award winning Sweet Peppers Deli has announced its entrance into North and South Carolina.

"This is a time of growth for Sweet Peppers Deli as we continue to increase our presence in the Southeast," stated John Bean, of Sweet Peppers Franchise Systems, LLC. "We are excited that Tabitha and Chris have decided to bring our concept to the Carolinas. Peppers will finalize several more agreements over the coming weeks that will add locations on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi, Alabama and Florida," stated Bean.

Peppers Deli features a menu of salads, soups, signature sandwiches, panini (Italian pressed sandwiches) and wraps presented in a unique atmosphere including neon signs, bright colors, wifi, French doors that will open the restaurant for patio dining and an open and airy layout. Sweet Peppers Deli offers a combination of counter and table service.

The Sweet Peppers Deli concept began in 1997 when North Mississippi Restaurateurs, John, Bernard and Myrrl Bean, along with Robert Fort of Columbus, Mississippi joined forces with Robin Fant, creator of Bulldog Deli, in Starkville Mississippi. Bulldog Deli served as a prototype for the first Peppers Deli. Currently there are 9 Delis located in Mississippi and Alabama with a 10th location opening in December in Tennessee.
