Momma Goldberg’s Deli
Tuscaloosa, AL
The original Momma Goldberg's opened in 1976 in Auburn, Alabama where for over 30 years it has proven to be a successful player in the Fast Casual dining market. Momma Goldberg's Deli decided to expand within the Alabama region, locating the first franchise in Homewood, an additional location in Auburn and the first Momma Goldberg's franchise in Tuscaloosa. The Tuscaloosa franchise opened its doors on August 5th 2008 to enormous crowds and rave reviews.
Lamar and Starr Daniels first came into the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) for general start-up assistance and financing after being approved to open the Momma Goldberg's Deli in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Mostly, the Daniels needed information regarding Health Department regulations and requirements and some general contractor contacts. Later, the Daniels realized that they would need much more help from the SBDC.
After contacting the Health Department and general contractors, Mr. Daniels came back to the SBDC for help with his business plan. The SBDC faxed him several business plans, and even guided him step-by-step through a break-even analysis over the phone. Afterwards, the SBDC reviewed and suggested revisions of his business plan to present to a loan officer at Regions Bank. The Daniels were granted an SBA guaranty loan for $180,000 on April 15, 2008. Starr Daniels 'found the Center's advice very useful and has had continued conversations with the Center about business operations.'
Momma Goldberg's has many plans for the future. Should this location continue its current popularity, the Daniels are very interested in opening other Momma Goldberg's locations within the city of Tuscaloosa. Momma Goldberg's presently employs 13 individuals.
