The Hungry Hobo, located at 178 S. 4^th Ave. Eldridge, IA 52748, will celebrate the grand opening of their new location with a ribbon cutting on Friday, November 8^th at 4:00pm. The new location will be open Monday through Saturday from 10:00am to 9:00pm, and Sunday from 11:00am to 8:00pm.

“While we’re in the process of trying to expand our concept in Eastern Iowa, we also wanted to get some experience with providing a drive thru service” said Pryce T. Boeye, President and CEO of Hungry Hobo.  “We were able to find a great complex in the heart of Eldridge that should serve both our customers and employees very well.  If the first day of business is any indication of what to expect, it could end up being a surprisingly strong store.”

The Hungry Hobo is a chain of Sandwich shops that was created in 1973 by Jim Gende, Ray Pearson, Joe Gende, and Tom Spero.  The chain is currently celebrating its 40^th anniversary with a series of promotions throughout 2013.  The concept specializes in sliced-to-order and grilled sandwiches, baked potatoes, chef-prepared soups, shredded-lettuce salads and desserts that are baked daily in the Hobo Bakery.
