The Gere-a-Deli has been feeding Anacortes since 1981. Located in historic Downtown Anacortes, the deli has remained a family owned and operated business. It’s no secret to the locals why the Gere-a-Deli is the place to go for lunch, or why they’ve been voted best the last 29 years in a row for the following: Best Deli Soup, Best Salad, Best Business Lunch, Best Quick Lunch, Best Chowder, Best Sandwich and Best Catering! The friendly staff, original nostalgic decor and traditional family recopies – made from scratch daily are sure to make anybody feel right at home.
Gere-a-Deli has a history of community support and service. It is a place where locals gather. It caters our community events. Gere-a-Deli is co-owned by Laurie and Phil Gere. Laurie served as Mayor of the City of Anacortes from 2014-2021. She was elected to this position after serving on the City’s Planning Commission for 20 years and as an Island Hospital Commissioner for 12 years. She continues to lead the Anacortes Community Task Force to bring together stakeholders in the community to work to serve Anacortes youth and families.
