History
Primo Hoagies was founded on Ritner Street in South Philadelphia in July 1992 by Richard and Colleen Neigre. In 2002, the restaurant was franchised with its corporate headquarters located in Westville, New Jersey. Eric Bonner is the Chief Operation Officer and has served in several positions with the company over the last 19 years. The most popular sandwiches are the "Italian with prosciutto [and] provolone cheese, Hot Capicola and natural casing Genoa salami".
The franchise is known for its Philadelphia styled hoagies. Lindsey Nolen of South Philly Review stated "Primos is Primo when it comes to an Italian Hoagie". Primo opened in a store in Citizens Bank Park in 2017.
At the 2016 Philadelphia Cheesesteak & Food Festival, Primo Hoagies brought its specialty Italian hoagies to the festival.
Richard Neigre died on May 5, 2022, at his home in Sewell, N.J.
