Amid the pandemic, Rinsky and his co-partner Bryan Seversky expanded OJM into a clothing company that specializes in comfort wear, like T-shirts, hats and sweaters.

As for Seversky’s thoughts on why OJM’s deli-themed apparel have been a major hit amongst consumers, he said that delicore, as a whole, celebrates a persevering, widely-loved industry.

“When you have a piece of clothing that is the branding of the deli, it’s almost like wearing a sports jersey or a band shirt,” Seversky said.
