Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop Shuts Its Doors in Carolina Forest
Hey there, Carolina Forest! We’ve got some news that might just make your taste buds a little sad. If you’re a fan of Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop, you better get your sandwiches in while you still can. This beloved lunch spot is set to close its doors for good on Wednesday, leaving many locals wondering where they’ll satisfy their sandwich cravings next.
A Quick Goodbye
Capriotti’s has been serving up delicious sandwiches at 224 Fresh Drive Unit B since last June, sharing the space with three other businesses. It seems like just yesterday they made their grand debut in Carolina Forest, bringing a wide array of tasty options to the table. Unfortunately, the franchise owner confirmed the closure in a message earlier this week, and it’s a bitter pill to swallow for fans of their scrumptious subs.
What’s on the Menu?
If you haven’t had the chance to try Capriotti’s yet, you’ve been missing out! With a menu that features everything from cheese steaks to a Thanksgiving-inspired turkey sub, their offerings have always brought joy on a bun. One standout is their American Wagyu Roast Beef, topped with fresh cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and mayo. It’s a mouthwatering delight that many will miss. The sandwiches are made with love and a lot of flavor, so it’s no wonder they became a go-to spot for both lunch and dinner.
Carolina Forest’s Loss is Fort Mill’s Gain
After the Carolina Forest location bids farewell, there will only be one remaining Capriotti’s in the whole state of South Carolina. That lone establishment is located in Fort Mill, at 810 Brayden Parkway. So, if you find yourself craving their unique creations after Wednesday, a drive to Fort Mill might be your only option. Seems like a sandwich road trip could be in the cards for some folks!
From Humble Beginnings
All of this makes us appreciate Capriotti’s even more. Founded in 1976 in Wilmington, Delaware, by the husband-and-wife duo Lois and Alan Margolet, the franchise has grown into a national sensation with locations in 29 states. They’ve built a solid reputation for quality and flavor that keeps people coming back for more. But as seen with other locations, including a previous site in Market Common, it seems that the competition can be tough out there for sandwich shops!
The Community Reacts
The upcoming closure has sparked conversations among locals and regular customers. Many have voiced their sadness on social media, reminiscing about their favorite sandwiches and the friendly service they’ve received over the past months. It’s not just about the food; it’s about the experience of enjoying a delicious meal in a comfortable setting.
Last Chance to Satisfy Your Cravings
So, what’s the takeaway here? If you adore Capriotti’s or have yet to experience it, make sure to swing by before the doors close on Wednesday. It’s your last chance to grab one of those famous sandwiches before they vanish from the Carolina Forest landscape for good. After their departure, we’ll just have to keep our fingers crossed for another delicious lunch spot to pop up in the area. Until then, happy eating, and let’s send Capriotti’s off in style!
