Name: Blimpie

Type of Food: Sandwiches

Interesting Fact: The idea for a name appeared when they noticed that their new hoagie sandwich was similar in shape to a “Blimp”.

History: The first Blimpie was opened in Hoboken, New Jersey on April 4, 1964 by three young men with a dream: Tony Conza, Peter DeCarlo and Angelo Baldassare. It has since grown to the third largest sandwich chain in the United States, behind Subway and Quiznos. Currently there are nearly 1,600 franchises in the U.S. with a half dozen in Canada.
