New Russian Deli in Town?

A couple weeks ago a friend Marv told me that a friend of his had spotted a Russian deli in town. He said it was over by Knoche's on Old Middleton Road, two or three doors down from the Oakcrest. A friend of mine is heading over there now. (That's what meat lovers do on their day off from work.)

Anyone know anything about this place?

UPDATE: The store opened about 3 months ago and is owned by a Russian family from New York. I am told that the vast majority of items are Russian with a smattering of Polish and German breads. No fresh meat - smoked sausage, frozen stuff, and dry goods instead and things tend to be sourced from Chicago and New York. Most items are labeled in Russian only. Good selection of dumplings (apparently not pelmeni) - heavy on the veal. They carry 2 brands of kvas!
