Jreck Subs was started in 1967 by five school teachers who wanted to make extra money for their families. The first sub«shop» was a converted school bus that was parked outside the U.S. Army post in Watertown, NY. The business went so well that they formed a corporation in 1968 called Jreck Subs Inc., which was derived from the first letters of the five owners’ names. After obtaining some financial backing, the corporation opened a bakery to produce sub rolls on a daily basis.
By 1974, there were twenty Jreck Subs Shops from Massena to Syracuse. Since then, Jreck Subs has grown to over forty stores in Northern and Central New York, and plans for more are underway. This is their Southside Syracuse location. Jrecks has always been one of my favorite local«chains». There’s just something about their sandwiches I love. Some of their hot subs are made with frozen meats(not their deli meat subs), but there’s fresh veggies and sauces. I love getting their buffalo chicken and meatball subs. They always have a different flavored sub roll of the month for their fresh rolls, which is interesting. The inside is very clean and bright. This location has, in my opinion, the best service of the CNY locations. They also have a loyalty card. Overall, I’m a big fan. It was always one of the places I had to get to when I didn’t live in CNY and came to visit.
