Atlantic County Restaurant Burns Right After Reopening: Reports

VENTNOR, NJ — Eight days after reopening under new ownership, a popular Atlantic County sandwich shop was burned in a fire and temporarily closed, according to reports.

Sack O'Subs was damaged after a three-alarm fire next door on June 18, according to the Press of Atlantic City. It had only reopened on June 10 after a sudden Memorial Day closing by franchisee Fred Spitalnick, the report said. Anthony Sacco, who operates the Absecon location and whose grandfather opened the business in 1969, took over, according to the report.

"I’m just sick to my stomach over what has happened," Sacco told the news outlet.

Video shows flames through the roof of U-Mango, a closed smoothie and bubble tea shop that is connected to Sack O'Subs.

The fire stayed in the building of origin and its cause is under investigation, NJ.com reported. The U-Mango building was destroyed and torn down, according to the report.

Three families were displaced by the fire but were helped by American Red Cross, the report said.

The Ventnor location is now listed as "closed due to fire" online. There is no information about reopening.
