Stephen and Sheri Jackson opened Jackson’s Market and Deli last September at 160 High St. in Hamilton. Not only was the market one of the first tenants in the
redeveloped Elder Beerman department store, but it also filled the fresh food gap in downtown.
The Jacksons recently sold their business to Kyla Rooney, a manager at Jackson’s since it opened, and her husband Jim, who rebranded the business as
Alexander’s Market and Deli.
The city of Hamilton was named for Fort Hamilton, which was named after Alexander Hamilton. The Rooneys took that namesake one step further and named their business after him as well.

Alexander’s offers a selection of fresh produce and items to fill in the gaps between grocery trips, such as milk and eggs. The deli side of Alexander’s offers a variety of salads, sandwiches and wraps that are made to order for dine in or to go.
Menu highlights include the Hamilton Joes Club, which is turkey, ham, roast beef, American cheese, spring mix, onions, banana peppers and spicy brown mustard on your choice of freshly baked bread. There’s also the Alexander’s Club wrap, a whole wheat wrap filled with ham, turkey, American cheese, bacon, romaine lettuce, tomato, onion and mayo. You can also create your own salad, sandwich or wrap.
Besides the change in ownership, the Rooneys plan to bring in more locally produced items and increase the amount of organic produce offered. There are also plans to update the look and feel of the market and offer new programming to attract more customers on nights and weekends.
Alexander’s is open from 6 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday-Friday and 8 a.m.-4 p.m. on Saturday. The deli is open from 8 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday-Friday and 9 a.m.-3 p.m. on Saturday.
