The Mohr family, comprised of seven siblings, holds an expansive commercial portfolio in the Capital Region. \n\u201cWe started in 2012, taking over Mohr\u2019s Service Center in Saratoga Springs after our father passed away,\u201d said David Mohr. \u201cWe also own the Mobil gas station on that corner, as well as a car wash nearby.\u201d \nThe Mohr\u2019s expanded into Latham with another Mobil station, a convenience store, a Dunkin Donuts and several apartments at a strip mall there. They also own a Mobil station and car wash in Colonie on Wolf Road. \nOpportunity knocked when the brothers learned that the owners of DeLucia\u2019s were retiring. \n\u201cWe were looking for any place we could expand the family business. We\u2019re constantly looking to grow,\u201d said Mohr. \n\u201cDeLucia\u2019s was something we\u2019d looked at for a long time. We grew up living right near the deli as kids. It\u2019s a great location and a nice piece of property, so we decided to take advantage of the owners selling it,\u201d said Mohr. \n\u201cWe saw that Stewart\u2019s was going in across the street, and that made us more comfortable with the purchase, especially with there not being sewer or water there yet. We figured it was just a matter of time before it went in,\u201d said Mohr. \nStewart\u2019s owns roughly 100 acres near the location. \nThe Mohr\u2019s approached Matt and Mark Little from Just Meats about operating the deli portion of the business. Just Meats will move their butcher shop into the location, while the Mohr\u2019s will operate the convenience store side of things. \n\u201cThey were thrilled to get involved,\u201d said Mohr. \n\u201cI knew Matt from riding the school bus together as kids. Then we were customers of theirs when they were at the Malta location years ago. I knew they had since been operating in Schuylerville and Greenwich, and I figured they\u2019d be interested in getting back into the Malta area. When I approached them, they were very excited about it,\u201d said Mohr. \nThe brothers have done some light cosmetic improvements such as flooring and the removal of a small portion of wall to open up space. \nA grand re-opening will happen sometime in mid-March or early April, according to Mohr. \n\u201cDeLucia\u2019s is going from one family business to another. The deli has been there since the 1930s. Just Meats has been around since the 1970s. We\u2019ve been in business for many years. There\u2019s a lot of experience on that corner,\u201d said Mohr. \nDeLucia\u2019s Deli & Grocery is located at 2858 Rotue 9 in Malta. Current weekday hours are 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., with Saturday hours of 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday hours of 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
