Charley's Grilled Subs is a sandwich chain headquartered in Columbus, Ohio.[1]

The chain has 400 locations in 46 states and Puerto Rico in the United States and in 15 other countries, including Canada, Dubai, Germany, Guam, Italy, Iraq, Japan, Korea, Kuwait, Panama, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, and Venezuela. Formerly known as Charley's Steakery, the franchise was established in 1986 on the campus of Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio, and is still headquartered there. The Charley's brand is supposedly "built on the essence of Brotherly Love, while honoring God and strengthening neighbors". [2] The brand is focused on providing hot food, prepared in front of the customer.

The restaurant features sandwiches such as the Philly Cheesesteak, Chicken Teriyaki, Buffalo Chicken, and recently offered the Chicken Chipotle, Spicy Asian BBQ, South Philly and the Southwest Chicken sandwiches during limited time offers. Charley's also serves salads, fries, and lemonade.

Charley's Grilled Subs locations have traditionally been found in malls, airports, military installations, and Sears Grand stores across the United States. Now, the chain is refocusing on strip center and free-standing locations.[3]

History

While studying real estate at The Ohio State University, Charley Shin worked in his mother’s Japanese/Korean restaurant in Columbus, Ohio. A wrong turn on a family trip to New York City resulted in Charley’s discovery of the Philly steak sub. Charley convinced his mother to take a break, sell the restaurant, and invest in “Charley’s,” a 450-square-foot (42 m2) restaurant across the street from The Ohio State University campus. Charley’s first decision in the restaurant was to turn the grill around to face the customers, so they could always see their food being cooked, a move that would later become the trademark of the Charley’s Grilled Subs chain. [3]
