O'Carr's is a delicatessen chain owned by June and Cameron Carr. It was started as an ice-cream parlor in November 1975 at their original Homewood location at 2909 18th Street South.
The delicatessen serves a wide variety of deli meats, fruits, and salads. Specialties include the date nut bread and the chicken salad. Fresh-baked cheesecakes served warm and old-fashioned milkshakes distinguish the dessert offerings. The restaurant also offers catering service.
In 2004 the Carr's began selling franchise rights for new locations. Attorney Lew Garrison opened the first franchise in Cahaba Heights and in 2010 opened a downtown cafe in the former Safari Cup location in the Title Building. He closed the downtown location before Christmas and began looking for a buyer.
The Carrs had been planning their own downtown cafe since about 2007 when they purchased two adjoining buildings at 214 18th Street North.
