PrimoHoagies is a popular restaurant chain that started in 1992 in South Philadelphia, United States. It's famous for its delicious "hoagies," which are a type of long sandwich. Today, PrimoHoagies has more than 115 locations across ten different states on the East Coast. It's a "fast casual" restaurant, meaning you can get good quality food quickly, but it's not a fancy sit-down place.
How PrimoHoagies Started
PrimoHoagies was founded in July 1992 by Richard and Colleen Neigre. They opened their first shop on Ritner Street in South Philadelphia. Ten years later, in 2002, the company began to offer franchises. This meant other people could open their own PrimoHoagies stores. The main office for the company is now in Westville, New Jersey.
What Makes Their Hoagies Special?
PrimoHoagies is well-known for its special Philadelphia-style hoagies. A hoagie is a type of submarine sandwich that's very popular in the Philadelphia area.
Some of their most popular sandwiches include the "Italian." This hoagie is made with delicious meats like prosciutto, provolone cheese, hot capicola, and Genoa salami. Many people say that PrimoHoagies makes one of the best Italian hoagies around!
