Domenico’s Italian Deli, Black’s Apothecary, El Toro, Big Bobby’s, Steered Straight, Modern Acupuncture, Grandy’s

Domenico’s Italian Deli opened Jan. 27 in downtown Murfreesboro. Owner Jeff Murphy’s mother, Ann Murphy, even took time off from the Domenico’s original location to see the grand opening.

The deli was started 50 years ago in Alameda, California, by Jeff’s grandparents. When his grandparents retired in 1989, his parents took over and when it was his turn, he and his wife, Murfreesboro native Scarlett Lanning Murphy, decided to locate the old-style deli at 106 S. Maple Street.

Ann Murphy mother of Domenico’s Italian Deli owner Jeff Murphy serves samples.

The deli will serve cheese, cured Italian meats like prosciutto and salami, desserts and more.

Murphy met his wife, daughter of Mike and Gina Lanning (see more on them later) when he attended MTSU on a football scholarship.

Turns out the old O’Charley’s on Memorial won’t be an apartment complex. It will be the other thing Murfreesboroans love: a Mexican restaurant.

Food truck Big Bobby’s BBQ has its eyes set on a brick-and-mortar shop. The truck will park permanently at 2805 Old Fort Parkway, the former location of Blue Cactus, and operators will open a restaurant inside. Big Bobby’s was previously parked at 1505 Memorial Boulevard.

Black’s Apothecary opened in early January near Climb Murfreesboro. Owned and operated by former Reeves-Sain pharmacist Taylor Black, the family pharmacy puts an emphasis on excellent customer service, compassionate personal care and efficient transactions.

Black said he tried a chain pharmacy after Reeve-Sain Drug Store closed, but after working for 15 years in an independent shop, he felt the calling to hang his own shingle.

In addition to pharmaceutical remedies, Black’s offers a range of wellness products, like Herb+Leaf from Mt. Juliet; a variety of CBD oils, gummies, creams and more; and other herbal remedies.

It looks like they may be stocking a gift shop also, but you should stop in yourself at 1636 Memorial Boulevard in Murfreesboro, to confirm. Learn more at blacksapothecary.com.

CLOSING CORNER

Rick’s Barbecue has closed its Memorial Blvd. location permanently. The Lannings experienced “recent family events” that prompted the closure on Jan. 24. The closure is related to Mike Lanning’s recent heart attack. Lanning decided to reduce his stress levels and sell the location.

The Warrior Drive location will remain open.

“The Lanning family would like to thank you for your patronage and support over the past 14 years. It has been an honor and pleasure serving this community and we hope that you continue to visit us at the Warrior Drive location,” the sign said, adding they will continue to offer catering.

Gold’s Gym closed its downtown Murfreesboro location. It sat on Church Street, across from the old Murfreesboro Police Department headquarters. Many officers used to work out there, but now they have a state-of-the-art gym at the new HQ on Highland Avenue.

While they may not yet be closed, two regional chains have filed for bankruptcy:

In mid-January, Krystal filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy even after closing dozens of restaurants. In the filing, the Georgia-based, Chattanooga-born square slider chain blamed rising labor costs and shifting consumer tastes as the reason behind its financial woes. No word yet on whether its Rutherford County locations will get 86-ed.

A few days later, Bar Louie filed for Chapter 11 protection. The gastro-pub has more than 90 locations nationwide, including three in Nashville and Murfreesboro. In its bankruptcy announcement, it said one-third of its locations, mostly in Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan and Colorado, will be closed as part of its restructuring.
