Amato’s Opening at Maine Mall

imageThe family-owned Amato’s—which has a sub shop at 1108 Broadway—will open an outlet at the Maine Mall.
Amid the national chains in the food court that include McDonald’s, Sbarro and Cinnabon --Amato’s will offer its signature Maine Italian sandwiches.
Amato’s founder Giovanni Amato is credited with creating the original Italian sub in 1902 in Portland.
Giovanni sold his fresh-baked Italian rolls filled with meat, cheese and veggies to fellow immigrants who worked the docks in Portland Harbor.
Fast-forward a century and the Italian sub is Maine’s unofficial state sandwich. Amato’s—owned by the Reali family—has locations in Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire, and continues to grow.
The new mall shop will open in the fall where Au Bon Pan used to operate.
