Who wants the Disco Deli torch handed to them? So, the owner is retiring eh? That fella sure put in a lot of long hours in that place. I will forever envision his van sitting out front for, like, ever. I woke him up a lot too!
I remember when Disco made a mean sub which could give Kaiser’s a run for it’s money. This was back in the late 70’s/early 80’s? Does anyone remember the owner then? The dude with the big black mustache and black framed glasses?
Anyway, best of luck to the current owner and enjoy your retirement! Let’s hope someone grabs the place, keeps the name and um, tweaks the place up a bit!

Pat MacKenzie was the owner back then. I worked there in the late 70’s-early 80’s and yes, we made a mean sub!!
Oh no!!! Where are kids gonna get their cigarettes now ?
I think Pat ran the chip wagon at Queensland for a few years too after the restaurant on the beach burned down……I also remember the “special” tap on the fountain pop at Disco Deli during the Christmas holidays….. Me now knows it be rum! Lol….true story!
l0l….Yes Pat was a good man..and had awesome subs
Iconic part of Sackville!!! The current owner really does put in way too much hours, glad he’s retiring ! We all need to retire at some point
One thing I’d like to add is he really helped me and my family out a lot..as someone who relies on welfare cheques half the time he allows me to pick things up and ‘pay him eventually’ ( as he likes to say) .. Meant a lot to me. Not to mention free candy/ chocolate he gives my kids!!
Thank you for all the hours you put in and being there for the city of sackville!!
