Frankie and Wally's Gourmet Market and Deli Coming to Coral Gables

A new gourmet market and deli, Frankie and Wally's, is set to open this fall in Coral Gables, co-owner Wally Henriquez told Business Debut.

The establishment will be located at 216 Palermo Ave #2602, Coral Gables, FL 33134, according to public filings.

Frankie and Wally's will offer a unique combination of specialty groceries from Spain, Italy and local Miami brands, alongside a New York-style deli and café serving breakfast and lunch. The menu will include sandwiches, pastries, coffees, rotisserie chicken lunch dishes and whole chickens for takeaway.

The market and deli will operate Tuesday through Saturday from 9 am - 6 pm. They will have a unique outdoor space with 30 seats covered by a trellis. They will also have 10 additional seats inside.

The concept evolved from its beginnings during the COVID-19 pandemic when Henriquez and her husband Frankie Pichardo started making and delivering lasagnas to customers. Pichardo, who had moved from New York during the pandemic, missed New York deli sandwiches, which led to the launch of a food truck.

Now, having retired their food truck, Henriquez and Pichardo are expanding their vision into a brick-and-mortar location that combines a gourmet market with their popular deli offerings.
