New Sister Sister Deli & Market Set to Open in Downtown Beaufort This Fall
Downtown Beaufort will soon welcome a new dining venue with the anticipated opening of Sister Sister Deli & Market this fall. Owned by sisters Sami and Dani Mussman, the deli is set to occupy the space at 403 Carteret Street, formerly home to the Italian eatery Griffin Market, which closed its doors in 2024.
Sister Sister Deli & Market is designed to serve as both a neighborhood deli and a gourmet market, offering a variety of culinary options. While the full menu is still being finalized, early indications suggest a focus on Southern-inspired dishes along with an array of charcuterie and deli offerings featuring only American-made ingredients and products. Guests can expect options such as cut-to-order cheese, made-to-order sandwiches, house-made deli meats, pickles, and condiments, as well as a selection of small-batch goods sourced from U.S. makers.
The planned lunch menu is particularly intriguing, featuring items such as pickled shrimp, confit chicken wings, and Old Bay shrimp melt. Additionally, visitors will be able to discover house specialties that the deli’s owners plan to highlight.
Renovation and Discovery
Renovations of the space, which began in June 2023, have already uncovered interesting historical elements from the building’s past. Among the discoveries was a planter box that has been creatively repurposed into a bench, along with hand-painted signs from its previous life as an auto shop. Workers noted that they found three distinct layers of flooring during the renovation process. The building is also scheduled for repainting, with work to begin in July.
Community Connection and Sustainability
Sister Sister Deli & Market emphasizes sustainability, adhering to principles that support local and regional producers. This commitment promises to appeal to customers who are increasingly concerned with where their food comes from and its environmental impact.
Opening Timeline and Future Updates
While an exact opening date has not yet been announced, the deli is aiming for a launch by October. Once operational, Sister Sister Deli & Market plans to serve as a popular spot for lunch breaks, snacks, and supplying dinner party charcuterie board crafting needs. As preparations continue, the owners encourage the community to follow their progress through updates and sneak peeks available on their Facebook and Instagram pages.
As Downtown Beaufort evolves, Sister Sister Deli & Market is poised to become a noticeable addition to the local food scene, with a fresh perspective on deli dining and market offerings slated to open within months.
