New McAlister’s Deli in Conway set to open, some customers to get free tea for a year

Conway is getting a new McAlister’s Deli, and 100 customers will receive free sweet tea from the restaurant for a year.

The casual sandwich shop chain will open on Church Street/U.S. 501 at 10 a.m. Monday, and the first 100 guests will receive free tea. A ribbon-cutting ceremony hosted by the City of Conway begins at 11 a.m.

The location will be the second McAlister’s Deli in Conway, joining one on S.C. 544 near Coastal Carolina University, and the sixth in Horry County, joining one in North Myrtle Beach and three in and around Myrtle Beach.

Keith Benton Sr. is the franchisee and also owns the other Conway restaurant.

McAlister’s Deli is home to handcrafted sandwiches, fresh salads, giant stuffed spuds, and the trademarked McAlister’s Deli Famous Sweet Tea.

The new restaurant has indoor and outdoor dining, a pick-up window for online orders, curbside pickup, catering for large groups, a pick-up station inside, and tableside service, which entails guests selecting their table in the restaurant, ordering from the McAlister’s app, and having the meal brought to their table.
