On October 6^th, 2012, Paseo Nuevo welcomed the arrival of a new deli named Pickle and Swiss at 811 State Street. Sadly, the downtown location has now closed after 12 years in business. “I wanted to let you know after careful consideration and strategic planning we made the decision to close our downtown location in order to pave the way for our relocations,” says co-owner Karyn Montgomery. “We are embracing change, and seeking out improved circumstances that will help us thrive. We look forward to Goleta next year, and still believe in Santa Barbara as we will consider reopening in Santa Barbara at some point in the future. We really love our customers and will see you soon, and also a big Thank you John for your support, and with everything that you do for especially the food industry because every local business matters everywhere.” The Goleta location of Pickles and Swiss closed last summer with a new location yet to be announced.
