Blimpie Subs and Salads

Specialties

At Blimpie, we were one of the first sub shops on the block nearly 45 years ago and today we are still just as confident in what we do and the subs we make as we were on opening day in 1964. We have been around to see man walk on the moon, the 1^st Super Bowl, America’s Bicentennial, the end of the cold war, miscalculated Presidential elections — and no matter where America is in her history, Blimpie is right there selling the subs that America has grown to love and crave.

We believe that when you walk into our stores, you will experience a bit of that Americana through our décor, our story and the way we treat our guests. Blimpie isn’t just for the young, old, city dweller or suburban mom — Blimpie is for everyone and is beloved from coast to coast.

We know we make the best subs around, and look forward to seeing you in your neighborhood Blimpie store very soon.

History

Established in 2002.

Blimpie’s roots can be traced back to three friends armed with an entrepreneurial spirit and a business itch to introduce what the world now knows as the beloved submarine sandwich. With a desire to set themselves apart from their competition, they decided to call their sandwiches something other than submarines or hoagies. Hoping to find some inspiration, they paged through a dictionary until they came to the word «blimp» and a picture resembling the healthy, generous-​size sandwiches they saw as their competitive edge. That was the «eureka» moment, and the Blimpie sandwich and restaurant chain was born! On April 4, 1964, the three friends opened for business in Hoboken, N.J. Today with more than four decades of history and locations from coast to coast, the Blimpie brand continues to grow with the strength of its past propelling it forward.
