Penn Station Subs Expands in Charlotte with New Location

In a move that is sure to please sandwich aficionados, Penn Station East Coast Subs has opened its latest establishment in Gastonia, North Carolina. This newcomer is no mere sandwich shop; it's the eighth location for the eager entrepreneur, Eric Fairbanks, who is seizing the day with a hearty helping of fresh, flavorful subs that are made to order. After all, who wouldn’t want a journey through soft bread-filled goodness accompanied by freshly cut fries and a cup of that legendary lemonade?

Conveniently situated at 2950 Union Road, the new locale is strategically placed in a thriving residential area — which Fairbanks hopes will translate into foot traffic and friendly faces. Speaking of which, Fairbanks couldn't contain his excitement about this particular spot, mentioning, "This neighborhood has great traffic and a strong residential base." With the grand ambition to indulge the growing community, the restaurant boasts not just gourmet eats but swift service to match.

It seems Fairbanks has a knack for picking winning locations, a talent applauded by Lance Vaught, President of Penn Station East Coast Subs, who emphasized Fairbanks's role in the brand's success. And let’s not forget that this is just one component of Penn Station’s grand plans for 2025. With an eye on opening 500 locations in the next five years, the franchise is pulling out all the stops.

As the business reaches its 40th anniversary, Don Champion, Senior Vice President of Franchise Development and Sales, invites new entrepreneurs to join the ranks with an enticing offer: six months royalty-free and 50% off the franchise fee, a golden opportunity for those with eyes on the prize of restaurant ownership. So, whether you're a longtime supporter of high-quality subs or a curious newcomer, Penn Station’s fresh entry in Gastonia, complete with a drive-thru for easy pick-up, is ready to impress.
