Local Multi-Unit Franchise Owners Know Recipe for Success

December 11, 2024 // Franchising.com // SUMMIT, Ky – Penn Station East Coast Subs, the fast-casual sandwich franchise known for its craveable variety of made-to-order hot and cold subs, fresh-cut fries, and fresh-squeezed lemonade, is excited to announce the grand opening of its newest location at 8412 US Route 60, in Summit, Kentucky.

The new location is the fourth owned by Penn Station multi-unit franchise owners, Tom Wright and Ann Vanover, who have locations in nearby Ashland and Morehead, Kentucky. The business partners bring decades of combined business and restaurant experience to their Penn Station franchise. Wright, a lifelong resident of Greenup County, is no stranger to the restaurant industry, having grown up helping at his family’s iconic Wright’s Drive-In.

“Restaurants have always been in my blood,” said Wright. “I’ve had several careers and built successful businesses, but there’s something special about partnering with a franchise to bring great food and a great experience to your community. Penn Station is the best sandwich in the business, and I’m proud to introduce it to Summit.”

Vanover, who manages the day-to-day operations of the new location, shares Wright’s passion for community and cultivating a positive team culture.

“Our goal isn’t just to serve great food; it’s to grow great people,” said Vanover. “We focus on hiring individuals who want a future, not just a job. Watching young employees blossom and succeed is one of the most rewarding parts of this business.”

The Summit location features a drive-up pickup window, offering added convenience for customers. Wright personally designed the building, which reflects his forward-thinking approach to serving the needs of a rural area.

For Penn Station COO Craig Dunaway, the opening of the Summit location is a testament to the brand’s commitment to bringing high-quality food and exceptional service to communities across the country.

“We’re thrilled that Tom and Ann continue to grow the Penn Station brand,” said Dunaway. “Tom’s incredible entrepreneurial spirit and Ann’s dedication to fostering a strong, customer-focused team have made them the ideal partners to bring Penn Station to Summit.”
