Lee’s Hoagie House

Lee’s Hoagie House is a well-established sandwich shop brand that began in Philadelphia in 1979. The company was founded by Lee, a local entrepreneur who opened the original shop with a focus on freshly made hoagies and cheesesteaks, quickly earning a loyal following in the neighborhood. Over the years, Lee’s Hoagie House grew from a single storefront into a recognizable regional chain, expanding its presence throughout the Greater Philadelphia area.

A notable milestone for the brand came in the early 2000s, when it reached multiple locations, each maintaining the original commitment to quality and generous portions. As of November 2025, Lee’s Hoagie House operates eight stores, primarily in Pennsylvania, with a few locations in nearby states. The company continues to pursue growth, actively seeking new sites in Philadelphia and surrounding counties, as well as South Jersey.

In the past five years, Lee’s Hoagie House has evolved its approach by introducing both traditional dine-in shops and express formats designed for high-traffic retail corridors and mixed-use developments. This flexibility allows the brand to adapt to a variety of real estate environments and meet consistent demand for regional sandwich concepts. With strong brand recognition and a proven track record, Lee’s Hoagie House remains a credible operator in the quick service segment, offering scalable formats and steady performance in the Mid-Atlantic region.
