## Story

LOS ANGELES – Philly’s Best Cheesesteaks is launching a seasonal program titled “A Sharper Summer,” highlighting hoagies with the Sharp Italian Hoagie, Cooper® Sharp American cheese add-ons, and a choice of roll at all Philly’s Best locations.

While cheesesteaks may be in the name, hoagies have always been part of the Philly’s Best story. Built on the same real Philadelphia flavor that has defined the brand for more than 30 years, this summer campaign brings that side of the menu forward with a fresh focus on classic hoagies, Philly seeded rolls, and Cooper® Sharp American cheese.

The offering includes the Sharp Italian Hoagie along with other options such as Turkey, Ham & Cheese, and the Philly Club. Customers can add Cooper® Sharp American cheese to any hoagie and choose between a Philly seeded roll or traditional roll.

“Hoagies have always been a big part of who we are, and this season we wanted to give them their moment,” said Bob Levey, co-founder of Philly’s Best Cheesesteaks. “Cooper® Sharp brings the creaminess and the flavor people love from back East, and the roll choice makes it even more personal. Whether you want it seeded or non-seeded, it’s about making the hoagie the way you like it.”

Philly’s Best operates 20 locations across Southern California. The seasonal program, titled “A Sharper Summer,” highlights hoagies and cheese options.
