Company Overviews

About Atlantic City Sub Shops

Brett Perlman, Scott Perlman and Santo Formica founded Atlantic City Sub Shops in 1986, opening their first store in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, just west of the shoreline destination. From that location, the partners began serving submarine sandwiches for customers who would eat in, take out or order delivery.

The company overnights sandwiches made in the Egg Harbor store to customers who don't have an Atlantic City Sub Shop location near them.
