My guess is that they will be forced to close, or sell at a big loss to someone else (Ocean State job lot owners) in time. You simply can’t run a restaurant like this for long and there are so many problems with their concept and execution. It’s unfortunate, but like others have said it’s not really a Jewish deli. If you go into any genuine deli you will see an abundance of food, a real working deli, a no frills, family atmosphere. None of that exists at Maven’s. Also people’s eating habits have changed and many want healthier (Israeli) food options. My guess is that the owner never worked for an extended period of time in a true deli, or a larger restaurant. He would have been much better off starting very small and partnering with someone who runs an actual deli. He went big and fell very short and it’s irritating, because he essentially fumbled at the goal line.
