## Story

ALBANY, NY – For the past 30 years, PrimoHoagies has been serving the highest quality Thumann's meats and cheeses, sliced fresh and piled high, on our award-winning seeded bread. The grand opening of its newest location in Albany, NY is set for Thursday, March 20th, at 10:00 a.m. A ribbon-cutting ceremony will begin promptly at 9:45 a.m.

For Patel, bringing PrimoHoagies to Albany is more than just a business venture—it’s personal. "My father lived in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, for over 20 years, and I was born there before moving to Albany as a child. He always had a love for PrimoHoagies, making it a must-visit every time we traveled back to see family.

That tradition sparked my own love for PrimoHoagies," said Patel. "Growing up, I worked in my family’s business, Philly Bar and Lounge, which has been bringing a taste of Philadelphia to the Capital Region for over 20 years. Now, we’re taking it a step further by introducing PrimoHoagies to Albany.”

To celebrate Albany’s new favorite hoagie destination, PrimoHoagies is offering the first 100 customers* in line on Thursday, March 20th, a free Primo Size Hoagie. For the rest of Grand Opening day, customers who enroll in the rewards program will enjoy Primo Size Hoagies for just $6.99.

**To enjoy the Grand Opening Day Specials, customers are encouraged to join PrimoHoagies complimentary Rewards Program.*
