Brand history

Founded by Colleen and Richard Neigre in July 1992, Primo Hoagies started as a small restaurant on Ritner Street in South Philadelphia serving hoagies. Even though Philadelphia is famous for its superabundance of sandwich stores, clients appreciated the fact that Primo Hoagies was committed to the Italian roots of genuine Philadelphia hoagies. So, pretty soon more locations were opened all over Philadelphia. All of these were successful, which determined the business expansion.

Encouraged by the success in Philadelphia, the company opened a new location outside of this region, in south Jersey. They opened two other successful restaurants in New Jersey and in 2002 decided to start franchising. In ten years since franchising, Primo Hoagies expanded to six states in the Northeast area of the United States of America.

Even though they expanded to new markets, they stayed true to their roots and still pride themselves on preparing their food only with the freshest ingredients and Thumann’s gourmet meats. They never make sandwiches ahead of time and offer catering platters in all their restaurants.

In 1996 the company won the “Best Hoagies” award from the South Philly Award and since then it has received many awards and recognitions every year.

In the last years more and more restaurants that claimed to be Primo Hoagies’ have appeared, but couldn’t offer the same service and quality food. However, this didn’t affect the franchise’s success and they are permanently looking for locations that are trying to copy their ambiance and menu.

Currently, there are more than 95 Primo Hoagies restaurants you can find in seven US states including Virginia, Pennsylvania, Florida, Delaware, South Carolina, New Jersey, and Maryland.

Our review

The Primo Hoagies menu focuses mainly on sandwiches and you may have the impression that they have a limited offer, but their selection is very large and there is something for everyone anytime. Most of the sandwiches are served in the authentic Italian style, cold, while some are served hot. Also, they offer many vegetarian options you can choose from.

You can choose to quit on bread and serve your “sandwich in a bowl” or you can choose a low-carb bread or a whole wheat wrap. Also, all the sandwiches come in different sizes. The most wanted are the sandwiches made in the authentic Italian style. The most popular is their “Italian” sandwich which is stuffed with hot capicola, salami, provolone, and prosciutto.

The prices are reasonable and affordable. Expect to pay anywhere between $8 and $10 for a small sandwich, $11 to $15 for a medium-sized hoagie, and around $25 for a Primo sandwich, which is the largest size. The hoagies are ready in a matter of minutes even during the busiest times.

Primo Hoagies restaurants are open and clean, and clients can order at the counter. The staff will prepare your order quickly and serve it in hassle-free paper packing. Plus, the employees are very friendly and helpful with your special demands. They keep the place good-looking permanently and clean the tables as soon as the clients leave.
