Business owners and local leaders were at the restaurant celebrating the milestone. 

It's a first-of-its-kind deli that has high hopes of serving customers healthier food without breaking the bank. 

"Regardless of the ZIP code you live in, how much you make, I really want people to realize that food and good quality food can be accessible to all," said Amberlea Childs, Plant Joy Deli owner and head chef.

"The fact that you have been able to now open up and provide healthier foods to our entire county is something that is admirable," said Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley.
