Penn Station East Coast Subs Opening In Avon

AVON, OH — Penn Station East Coast Subs will be opening a new location on Detroit Road in Avon. The restaurant will start making grilled sandwiches Oct. 25.

“I've watched Avon over the past 15 years grow at record rates into the major retail market it is today," said the location's owner Rich Moore. "Also, the nearest Penn Station is 10 miles away so I felt like this was a great opportunity to introduce our brand to a new community with a booming retail market."

The first 100 customers Oct. 25 will be entered to win subs for a year via Penn Station's mobile app. One grand prize winners will receive free subs for a year (which really means one six-inch sub per week for a year).

The 99 runner-ups will be given a free meal, which includes a six-inch sandwich, small fresh-cut fry and a drink, upon downloading and registering the Penn Station East Coast Subs app.

Moore owns eight Penn Station restaurants, including the new Avon location. He started working in restaurants while attending Kent State University and was then operations director at Cooker Restaurant Corporation. Then he became a Penn Station franchisee.

Moore said he plans to open two more locations over the next few years.
