TL;DR
Nardelli's Grinder Shoppe has opened a new location in Norwalk, Connecticut, bringing its Italian combo to lower Fairfield County. The location is owned by franchise owner Matthew Youngs, who discovered the brand in 2012 and was drawn to its Italian combo.
Matthew Youngs, the franchise owner of the newly opened location in Norwalk, CT, - as of March 2022 - discovered Nardelli's in 2012 when he and his friends were at a lacrosse tournament in central Connecticut. After experiencing Nardelli's, Matthew and his friends made it a competition to find the best Italian combo by exploring various delis. They were never able to find one that beat Nardelli's.
Because of this, Matthew and his friends would drive 20-30 minutes to the Danbury or Milford locations for the sensational Italian combo. Matthew was intrigued by an opportunity to bring Nardelli's to lower Fairfield County - and succeeded.
"Since opening, customers that are familiar with Nardelli's are already saying 'We're so glad you're finally open and you're here,' and customers that didn't already know Nardelli's are quickly becoming repeat customers," said Matthew Youngs, franchise owner of the Norwalk, CT, Nardelli's location.
