A popular New Jersey sandwich shop chain that President Barack Obama once visited has closed one of its locations.
Tastee Sub Shop closed its Lawrence Township store Wednesday after more than 12 years in business, an employee confirmed to NJ Advance Media.
Contacted by NJ Advance Media on Wednesday, employees at the site would not disclose the reason for the closure.
The fast food chain opened in 1963 in Edison and later opened locations in Lawrence Township and Franklin Park. President Obama visited the chain’s flagship store in Edison in 2010 for a meeting with owners of four New Jersey small businesses to discuss a proposed tax credit.
Obama ordered a half-sandwich “Super Sub,” a monstrous sandwich made with pressed ham, cooked ham, salami, cappuccino, prosciuttini and cheese. Not surprisingly, the Tastee Sub Shop saw a spike in traffic after Obama’s visit.
Tastee Shop’s menu features 16 different sandwich options served in half (8-inch) or full (16-inch) sizes including turkey, pepperoni, roast beef, tuna, bologna, meatballs, sausage and more.
The Edison and Franklin Park sites remain open.
