PrimoHoagies has announced it is coming to Saint Clair.

In a release Sept. 20, the site is one of 18 franchises planned for Colorado, Florida, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Most of the locations will open in 2022.

Rob Rittenhouse, director of marketing for PrimoHoagies, said in an email the opening is targeted for early 2022.

He confirmed the address as 400 Terry Rich Blvd. Saint Clair. He said the company is “excited to be coming to the area.”

Terence Ryan, property manager of the Coal Creek Commerce Center, said the lease is “almost signed.” When finalized, PrimoHoagies will move into the space formerly used by Liberty Travel. Ryan was unwilling to release additional details but said more information is possible in two weeks.

“PrimoHoagies is headed across the country! They say that ‘tough times reveal your true character’ and that’s certainly been true for PrimoHoagies and our dedicated franchisees throughout the pandemic. By doubling down on our aggressive growth plan, we’ve been able to thrive through hard circumstances.

“With a 21% increase in sales, and our first ever Western stores opening, our hard work is paying off,” Chief Executive Officer Nicholas Papanier Jr. said in a statement.

The company headquartered in Westville, New Jersey, has locations in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Florida, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina and South Carolina.

It originally opened in south Philadelphia in 1992.
