Plumpeez Deli Congratulations 🎊🎈

(Late post 8/21/15) HAPPY 11TH BIRTHDAY, PLUMPEEZ! 🎉

ELEVEN YEARS. 🤯

11 years of big sandwiches, crazy ideas, long days, early mornings, late nights, laughs, challenges, celebrations, and SO MANY amazing people who have supported us along the way.

What started as an idea became a business.
That business became a community.
And YOU have been a huge part of the journey.

From our very first sandwiches to catering, events, charcuterie creations, and everything in between… Plumpeez has continued to grow, evolve, and keep y’all FED!

We’ve had our ups. We’ve had our downs. We’ve changed. We’ve pivoted. We’ve figured things out as we went.

But one thing has NEVER changed:

WE LOVE WHAT WE DO. 💜

And after 11 years, we’re still here. Still creating. Still serving. Still dreaming up what’s next.

To every customer who has ordered from us, shared a post, told a friend, booked us for an event, brought us into your school, supported us during a transition, or simply cheered us on…

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

11 years in business is no small thing — and we know we didn’t get here alone.

Here’s to 11 years behind us…

…and whatever we decide to get into next! 😂

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PLUMPEEZ!
