Southern California-Based Brand Gives Super Fans 

Another Opportunity to Enjoy Authentic East Coast Flavors

LOS ANGELES – Today, Philly’s Best, the iconic Southland sandwich shop that’s been Satisfying Real Philly Food Cravings Since ’92, announced the upcoming opening of a new location in the Melrose Arts District of Los Angeles. This marks the third location in the Los Angeles metro area for the Philadelphia-inspired brand.

Known for serving its authentic cheesesteaks and hoagies, Philly’s Best is conveniently situated along the popular shopping, dining and entertainment-filled street between Beverly Hills and the Melrose Arts District at 7350 Melrose Avenue.

With a team of local employees and management staff, the location is owned by the founders of the brand, Andrea and Bob Levey. The Leveys founded Philly’s Best in 1992 in an effort to fill the hoagie-sized hole in their stomachs and share their beloved cheesesteak sandwich with their friends and neighbors in Orange County, California.

“We’re so excited to be opening another LA area location – we’ve grown so much since Bob and I first set out to bring a taste of Philadelphia to our new home in Southern California more than 30 years ago,” said Andrea, a native Philadelphian and co-founder of Philly’s Best. “Our dream is to continue to introduce our cherished cheesesteaks to even more East Coast transplants and West Coasters. Whether you’re a cheesesteak enthusiast or a first-time diner, there’s something for everyone at our sandwich shops.”

Philly’s Best’s menu is comprised of various cheesesteaks, hoagies, burgers and salads. The fast-casual sandwich shop honors its commitment to authenticity by prioritizing high-quality ingredients sourced directly from the Philadelphia area including AmorosoÒ Rolls and proprietary sweet pepper and pizza sauce recipes. Guests can also enjoy other unique favorites from the City of Brotherly Love on the side such as Herr’sÒ Chips, Pennsylvania DutchÒ Birch Beer and sweet treats from TastyKakeÒ.

Following the opening in the Melrose Arts District, Philly’s Best has plans to open in Riverside, California with an existing franchise partner. In addition to its expansion within California, Philly’s Best has initiated a nationwide franchising program and is looking to award franchise investment opportunities to qualified franchise partners throughout the United States, with a focus on development in Texas, Arizona, Nevada and throughout California.

Philly’s Best offers entrepreneurs an opportunity to bring authentic Philly flavors to their hometowns through its proven business approach, which has been developed and perfected to attract multi-unit owners and operators. This includes hands-on assistance from the founders themselves in real estate, marketing, operations and much more. Ideal franchisees should be business-minded professionals, have a passion for creating authentic dining experiences, be community-minded and align with the brand’s core values.
