Columbia’s No Name Deli is moving. Here’s the last day of the original location
If you want one last sandwich at the original No Name Deli location before it moves to a new spot, you better hurry up.
No Name Deli announced on social media that its last day 2042 Marion St. in Columbia will be Feb. 26. The deli, which has been at the Marion Street location for nearly four decades, is moving to 1301 Laurel St., at the corner of Sumter and Laurel.
An opening date for the new Laurel Street spot, which is just a few blocks from the longtime Marion Street address, was not shared in the social media post.
No Name Deli co-owner Jon Sears announced last year that the deli would be moving from Marion Street. Sears and partner Chris Davis own No Name Deli, both the location in downtown Columbia and a location that opened in 2024 in Forest Acres, along with Hendrix on Main Street, Jake’s in Five Points, and the recently opened Black Dog Pizza, among other spots.
No Name has been a reliably popular downtown lunch option, famed for its pimento cheese, chicken salad, club sandwiches and more. In a January poll from The State, readers voted it their favorite sandwich shop in the area. Sears has said that the No Name menu will remain the same when it moves to Laurel Street.
The deli’s move comes as New York’s Astral Development is planning a large mixed-use apartment development at the corner of nearby Elmwood and Bull. It would include 288 residential units and 25,000 square feet of retail space, as well as a pool, a dog park, a parking garage and other amenities. Astral Development purchased the current Marion Street property where No Name is back in September 2024.
