Move over, Subway. Take a seat, Firehouse Subs — and Potbelly with you.

PrimoHoagies … take a bow.

For the second consecutive year, PrimoHoagies has been voted the No. 1 sandwich shop in the country by USA Today.

PrimoHoagies was founded in Philadelphia, but is now based in Westville and has more than three dozen locations in New Jersey.
