About

About Blimpie

Blimpie was founded in 1964 by three friends — Tony Conza, Peter DeCarlo, and Angelo Baldassare — in Hoboken, New Jersey, making it one of America's oldest sub chains. The name was inspired by a local nickname for the USS Macon, a Navy blimp that once flew over Hoboken. From day one, the brand differentiated itself by baking bread fresh daily in-store and piling subs high with quality deli meats and cheeses.

The chain expanded rapidly through franchising in the 1970s and 1980s, at its peak operating more than 2,000 locations across the United States and internationally. Blimpie's signature cold deli subs — especially the BLIMPIE Best, loaded with Italian meats — became a defining product and cult favorite among sub enthusiasts. The hot sub lineup, including the Meatball Parmigiana and Philly Cheese Steak, broadened the menu's appeal to fans of toasted and grilled sandwiches.

Today Blimpie operates as a brand under Kahala Brands, which also manages several other quick-service restaurant concepts. While the footprint is smaller than its peak years, Blimpie continues to serve its loyal following with the same fresh-baked bread, generous portions, and affordable pricing that made it a staple of American fast-casual dining for over six decades.
