History

Primo Hoagies was founded on Ritner Street in South Philadelphia in July 1992 by Richard and Colleen Neigre.[4] In 2002, the restaurant was franchised with its corporate headquarters located in Westville, New Jersey.[5] Eric Bonner is the Chief Operation Officer and has served in several positions with the company over the last 19 years. The most popular sandwiches are the "Italian with prosciutto [and] provolone cheese, Hot Capicola and natural casing Genoa salami".[6]

The franchise is known for its Philadelphia styled hoagies. Lindsey Nolen of

South Philly Review stated "Primos is Primo when it comes to an Italian Hoagie". Primo opened in a store in Citizens Bank Park in 2017.[3]

At the 2016 Philadelphia Cheesesteak & Food Festival, Primo Hoagies brought its specialty Italian hoagies to the festival.[7]

Richard Neigre died on May 5, 2022, at his home in Sewell, N.J.[8]
