D'Angelo Sandwich Shops
Encyclopedia : D : DA : DAN : D'Angelo Sandwich Shops
D'Angelo Sandwich Shops is a chain of sub sandwich shops located throughout New England similar to Subway and Quiznos. They serve various kinds of hot and cold subs, wraps, and salads.
History
On March 1, 1967, "Ma Riva's Sub Shop" in Dedham, Massachusetts opened its doors. Later the name was changed to Angelo and then the letter D was added, supposedly standing for "delicious." D'Angelo would serve as a pioneer in lunch offerings, making it possible for guests on the go to enjoy fresh salads and sub sandwiches, made to order.
In August of 1997, Papa Gino's Holdings Corporation, the parent company of Papa Gino's, acquired D'Angelo. Today, D'Angelo's menu includes over 44 sandwiches as well as a variety of soups and fresh-made salads.
With more than 200 D'Angelo Sandwich Shops and nearly 170 Papa Gino's restaurants, they serve more than 50 million guests every year.
Miscellaneous
The chain originally produced its menu as a list of numbered sandwiches; over time the numbers were discarded except for the "Number 9," a steak sandwich better known by its number, which has become a registered trademark of D'Angelo Sandwich Shops.
