The area’s first DiBella’s Old Fashioned Submarines restaurant opened nearly a year ago at 1191 Miamisburg-Centerville Road (Ohio 725) in Washington Twp. The chain is considering adding one or two more locations in the Dayton area in future years, although no additional store openings are scheduled for 2013 in the Dayton area, DiBella’s officials said.
“Dayton has been great for us,” Jim Paladenic, DiBella’s chief operating officer, said in a news release. “We’re really excited to have this new store; it will really help us show more people what the best subs around are like.”
The new sub shop will open with about 50 employees, and seats up to 130 diners. Company spokeswoman Jill Ayres said favorable weather helped push up the construction timetable of the new restaurant.
DiBella’s operates 35 restaurants in Ohio, New York, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Michigan, including two in Columbus, one in Blue Ash and a second Cincinnati location coming later this year at 265 Calhoun St. The chain’s sub shops offer hot and cold subs, ranging from traditional Italian cold-cut sandwiches to buffalo chicken subs, in an atmosphere that evokes a 1940s-style corner-restaurant theme.
