In celebration of ranking as America’s No. 1 sandwich shop by USA Today readers’ choice awards for a third year in a row, PrimoHoagies is thanking customers with a special appreciation day.
According to the Westville-based franchise, Primo Rewards members will be able to score an $8 Primo Size hoagie (Italian, Turkey & Cheese or Ham & Cheese) all day long Nov. 11.
Nicholas Papanier Jr., PrimoHoagies’ owner, president and chief executive officer, believes the award underscores the brand’s commitment to quality and consistency, as well as the loyalty of its customers. He also called it “an incredible honor and true testament to our team’s hard work and dedication.”
Known for its specialty sandwiches made with high-quality meats, cheeses and fresh-baked rolls, the growing franchise currently has more than 125 locations across the U.S. Within New Jersey, it has a footprint of 30-plus stores.


“At PrimoHoagies, our commitment to authentic family recipes and the highest-quality ingredients is what sets us apart. We’re proud to share the same passion and tradition that started this brand with every sandwich we make,” Papanier said.
