“We can’t wait to make the capital city home to Nebraska’s second McAlister’s Deli location. People across the Midwest have fallen in love with McAlister’s Famous Sweet Tea and huge menu of sandwiches, salads, soups, and giant spuds, and I’m certain Lincoln will be no exception," Adam Saxton, co-CEO of franchisee The Saxton Group, said in a news release.
The Lincoln restaurant will be The Saxton Group's 79th McAlister’s Deli restaurant. It also is opening a location in in Council Bluffs in April.
