Bob鈥檚 Submarine Sandwiches聽has risen from the waste piles of its former No. 3 Road strip mall, which is now under redevelopment.
Mi-Yeong Lee has set up shop inside Pioneer鈥檚 Pub in Broadmoor Village and will be serving the Bob鈥檚 Subs classic sub every Saturday for the foreseeable future.
The long-time proprietor of Bob鈥檚, Lee and husband Frank Lee, were evicted in March from their greasy spoon diner, causing much stir on social media and becoming one of the most popular stories in 2018 at Richmond-News.com.
鈥淓veryone is asking, 鈥榃here will we go?鈥� He (Pioneer鈥檚 Pub manager) asked me to come here and I said I need some time. After two months, he asked me again and I said, 鈥極K,鈥欌�� said Mi-Yeong.
For just over 25 years, the Lees have been searing hot subs to the delight of their customer base in Richmond.
Mi-Yeong said she is still unsure about opening another permanent Bob鈥檚 Subs.
For now, she said she is working three days a week in the Pioneer鈥檚 kitchen to 鈥渒eep busy鈥� while husband Frank, her business partner, 鈥渞elaxes.鈥�
Only on Saturdays will Mi-Yeong whip up her classic subs.
Bob鈥檚 Subs customers will, however, have to pay a bit of a premium compared to past prices 鈥� $20 for a 12-inch sub and fries, or $13 for a six-inch and fries.
