What is Laspada’s?
In 1959 John LaSpada opened a small cheese steak and hoagie shop in Parkside Delaware County PA. Its immediate success brought in the entire family for help selling the “The best damn sandwiches in town!”
What happened to Laspada’s original Steaks&Hoagies?
In 1989 LaSpada’s “The Original” in Parkside was sold to an employee to continue the rich tradition of LaSpada’s Original. Charlie Jr. continued to run LaSpada’s Original Steaks & Hoagies in Ridley Township and brought longtime employee, Tom Morrison in as a partner by 1991.
Who are the members of the Laspada family?
Family members include wife Yolanda, brother Charlie, as well as sisters and brother’s in-law Mary, Josephine, Ernie, John, Gabby and Ray. In 1978 John and Charlie’s sons Raymond and Charlie Jr. take over the business. They continue the great family tradition of their fathers as co-owners of the now landmark LaSpada’s “The Original”.
