A new Italian Deli is opening next week in Murfreesboro, featuring sandwiches, pasta and soups. Jeff Murphy came to Murfreesboro in 2010 from Alameda, California on a football scholarship to Middle Tennessee State University to get a degree in Entrepreneurship. After graduation, his original plan was to go back home and join the family business, Domenico’s Italian Deli.

Instead, he fell in love with Scarlet Lanning and Murfreesboro. He stayed, deciding to bring Domenico’s to Murfreesboro. Flash forward, Jeff and Scarlet are now bringing a version of the deli that Murphy’s grandparents started in 1982 to Murfreesboro in a location on Murfreesboro City Square. Domenico’s is having a grand opening and ribbon cutting on Monday, January 27, 2020.
