Coming soon: New restaurant ready to open inside Walking Tree Brewery in Vero Beach
What's the name of the new restaurant in Vero Beach?
Salvador Deli
Where is Salvador Deli?
Walking Tree Brewery, 3209 Dodger Road, Vero Beach
Who owns Salvador Deli?
Linda Moore, who co-owns the Kilted Mermaid in Vero Beach, and Courtney Cotherman, who worked there for 10 years, started Salvador Deli together in 2022 for catering events. "She wanted to have her own place eventually," Moore said of Cotherman, "but she didn't want to do it all by herself the first time." Moore's son mostly is running Kilted Mermaid now, so she's able to partner to start the new restaurant.
Although it wasn't in his original plan, brewery co-owner Mike Malone had been thinking about adding a permanent restaurant for about five years before the coronavirus pandemic put those plans on hold. He and his wife, Brooke, get asked about food more than anything. "We've always known that we needed food," Malone said. "We've relied on food trucks for a long time, but having to rely on food trucks doesn't give the consumer a dependable thing."
