German Native Follows Lifelong Dream, Opens Northport Deli Rolf Meyer, a German native, has dreamed about opening a butcher shop since he was 14 years old. Last fall, he made that dream a reality when opened Rolf's Deli and Sausages in Northport. Meyer moved to the Tuscaloosa area to work at the Mercedes plant in 2013, and when his visa expired, he had a decision to make. "I [decided] I [wanted] to stay in the United States because I really fell in love with [this] country," Meyer said. He opened a food truck in November 2019 as a first step towards running his own brick and mortar business. Six months later, he sold the truck and purchased a building in Northport, and another six months later, Rolf's Deli and Sausages was open for business.
