Penn Station is a chain of fast casual restaurants that serve east coast style subs. Its philosophy is to bring quality and freshness to the sub restaurant market. This has served it well as its fresh-cut french fries and freshly squeezed lemonade have become its trademarks. The hot grilled subs made from fresh baked bread are also quite popular.
It has over 290 branches across 15 Southern and Midwestern states. It is a private corporation that is headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio; where its first ever branch was opened in 1985 by Jeff Osterfeld. It is said that the idea for an East Coast sub restaurant came to Jeff when he visited Philadelphia and saw the popularity of the cheesesteak sandwich.
