The Hoagie Hut was opened in June of 1969 by brothers Dominic and Joe Porcaro, but the dream of opening their own sandwich shop began about 3 months earlier. Dominic was on his way home from work delivering beer, when he passed by the local ice cream shop, The Dairy Delicious, to see when they would be opening their doors for the summer ice cream rush and noticed a “For Lease” sign in the window. When he got home, he called his brother Joe and the idea of the Hoagie Hut was born. In about three months they turned a little ice cream shop into your quintessential Italian Family Business, where everything was homemade. From the sauce to the meatballs, each recipe was passed down and perfected by each generation and still used to this day.
