5th Avenue Subway Shop Reopening Under New Management


A corner storefront on 5th Avenue that was home to a Subway sandwich chain location didn’t end up staying empty for too long.

The shop, located at 423 5th Avenue on the corner of 8th Street, abruptly shut down at the end October, with signs in the window announcing that the franchise was available for someone new to take over. And it seems that they have — a sign posted recently in the window says the Subway is under new management and will reopen soon.

Perhaps this comes as a relief to those who were bummed to hear a couple weeks back that the location on 7th Avenue between Berkeley and Union had closed for good. Though, of course, there are a few other Subway options: at 258 7th Ave, another at 525 5th Ave, another at 375 Flatbush Ave, and so on.
