McAlister’s Deli to open Schaumburg location Feb. 5

The grand opening of McAlister's Deli’s new Schaumburg location at 436 E. Golf Road is set for 10:30 a.m. Feb. 5, and will be accompanied by a number of special events.

The first 50 guests in line on opening day will receive one free tea per week for 52 consecutive weeks.

Community members can join the “Feed the Rivalry” fundraiser between Conant and Schaumburg high schools from Feb. 5-11. Two ballot-style boxes, each labeled with a school name, will be placed at the restaurant. Guests can drop their receipts into their preferred school’s bucket.

Each school will receive 20% of their sales and the school with the highest dollar amount at the end of the fundraiser will receive an additional $1,000.

To show appreciation for those who serve the Schaumburg community, McAlister’s is inviting first responders, medical professionals, active military personnel, veterans, teachers, parent-teacher organization members and truck drivers for a complimentary meal between 5 and 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 2.

One guest will be permitted with each attendee, and they must show a badge or ID.
