A new deli has opened in Concord — and let’s just say it’s a pretty big dill.

Barrett and Sarah Dabbs, owners of the popular Johnny Roger’s BBQ & Burgers franchise, recently launched The Tickled Pickle Deli at 3661 Concord Pkwy. S., bringing fresh sandwiches, soups and salads to a growing area of the city.
