Nashville-based 51st Deli opens Lexington location at 1344 South Broadway
The deli chain says its new Lexington storefront is located in the former Becker Law office space, according to WKYT.
A Nashville-based deli chain has opened a new location in Lexington, according to WKYT. The business, 51st Deli, began operating at 1344 South Broadway on or around the date of the report, Aug. 19, 2026.
WKYT reported that the new Lexington site is in a space previously used as the Becker Law office. The change indicates a transition of the property from legal services to retail and food service operations.
The Lexington opening brings 51st Deli’s footprint to Kentucky after operating out of its Nashville base, WKYT said. The report did not identify additional locations in Kentucky or outline any further expansion plans beyond the Lexington storefront.
While the opening marks a new customer-facing use for the South Broadway corridor, the report did not describe staffing levels, hours, or specific menu items available at the Lexington site.
No public filings, corporate statements, or city permitting details were included in the WKYT report provided with this coverage report, and those details were not independently verified here. As a result, the scope of the project beyond the storefront address and former tenant is not confirmed in the available record.
For customers and nearby businesses, the practical effect is straightforward, the opening establishes a new deli option in Lexington at an address that had been vacant of law-office operations following Becker Law’s move or closure.
The next step for residents seeking more specifics would be to consult 51st Deli’s published announcements or the business directly for information that was not included in the report, including hours, parking guidance, and any promotions tied to the opening.
Why It Matters
- The opening changes the use of a commercial space on South Broadway from a professional office to a retail food-service establishment.
- New dining options can affect foot traffic and nearby small businesses, particularly along major corridors like South Broadway.
- For the community, the report provides at least a location reference for where the business will serve customers.
